Introduction
From the date that the United States of America declared that a state
of war existed between our country and Germany, it was inevitable that
Base Ball would, at some time or another, be affected by the beginning of
such an abnormal condition. It was a question of time and results as to
when the blight of war would be most severely felt, and a question as to the
duration and necessities of the war as to how it would be felt.
At no time did organized Base Ball lag in its duties or try to do other
than co-operate with its country. Indeed, had organized Base Ball not
received indirect assurance that a clear track was in front of it and that it
should go ahead, it might never have begun the season of 1918. It would
have been far easier not to have started than to have started and felt forced
to cease activities. There was no intimation at the beginning of the year
1918 that Base Ball was not acceptable. Quite the contrary, all the news-
papers handsomely supported Base Ball and fitted themselves to go forward
with it in a manner even more entertaining and more complete than that of
the past, everybody basing an opinion that it would be better to have the
tonic of good clean sport before the public, than to have citizens at home
become morbid and misanthropic on the subjects which were demanding inter-
national attention.
The work or fight order of the Provost Marshal's office of the United States
army was not dreamed of nor anticipated, and it was that order which really
made Base Ball an impossibility. It gathered to the active forces of the
United States all the available man power within the limit of the draft years.
The law was not quite clearly understood at the beginning, the more so as
there were those who believed that the national game was as essential as
the theater and the moving picture industry. When a ruling was made, it
was immediately apparent to all who knew professional Base Ball well that
it would be impossible to go on. The major leagues, which were perfectly
willing to abide by any desire of the Government, still wished to preserve
intact a record for continuity that never had been broken since their organiza-
tion, and asked for an extension. This was granted, but not in such a way
that the major league seasons could be completed in toto.
Most of the minor leagues had abandoned their seasons early. This, too,
was due to the fact that they could not get and hold players. The Inter-
national League was the only minor organization which "carried on" to the
finish.
A few of the players showed some disposition to evade the front by
"jumping" to outside teams. It may not be out of place to state here that
some of them at least were offered financial inducement, and such offers
were no less censurable than the conduct of those who jumped. To the
credit of organized Base Ball, however, let it be stated that not a half dozen
out-and-out quitters can be found in the ranks of the players, and the players
4 SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD.
as a whole are entitled to this recognition, because those who have been free
with criticism and unfamiliar with the facts, have attempted to make it
appear that the body general of ball players was involved. That is absolutely
not true.
The "Little Red Book," as it has been facetiously called, makes its appear-
ance in 1919 for the benefit of Base Ball enthusiasts with the records of
the abridged season exactly as they have been published at the close of all
seasons.
For a few weeks after the suspension of the major league seasons none
knew what the future had in store. Base Ball, through its owners and
through those who loved it devotedly as the national game for more than a
quarter of a century, was shrouded in gloom. For this, much was due to the
fact that those who were responsible for the conduct of the game felt that
their motives had been misconstrued. There are no more patriotic citizens
than those at the head of organized Base Ball.
Fortunately for all, the shadow has lifted. The signing of the armistice
by the powers involved in the war has ended hostilities. We earnestly pray,
not only ended them for the period in which we are living, but for all time.
Always brutal at its best, war, with modern engineering appliances, has
become more horrible than the imagination had been able to conceive. Base
Ball now will go on. Our national game is the one great sport of the world
to-day. Results seem to have made that plain. It is the greatest sport that
has been devised and amplified in any country. It is being played now by
more thousands than ever before, and it will continue to be played by more
thousands as the years go by. It will be witnessed by more thousands. The
returning soldiers are perhaps even more enthusiastic about it than those who
have remained at home. This is gathered by their conversation and by their
inquiries for knowledge. Our national game is the game of our soldiers, and
our soldiers are the admiration of our country. Truly this is a fit combina-
tion for this sport of ours, which is identified so closely with American
history since 1S70.

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASIS BALL RECORD. 5
John Arnold Heydler
By John B. Foster.
The National League has a new president, whose term began in-
December, 1918. His name is John Arnold Heydler, and he com-
bines the offices of president, secretary and treasurer, the latter
two being held by him before the members of the National League
circuit made him president for three years.
Mr. Heydler was born in Lafargeville, N. Y., a town that is situ-
ated near the Canadian border ; in fact, within walking distance,
one might say, from Clayton, of Thousand Island fame. From
there in early boyhood he removed to Rochester with his parents,
where he learned the printers' trade, thereby following the foot-
steps of many other Americans who have been printers' "devils."
The next step in his career was to accept a position in the Gov-
ernment printing office at Washington. Leaving that, he associated
himself with Mergenthaler, the inventor of the linotype machine,
and an invention which was to revolutionize typesetting for news-
papers and for book print. He was fortunate enough to be in with
Mergenthaler to the "finish," so to speak, and saw the machine
become a success. Then he accepted a position as linotype operator
on the Washington Star. While a printer he also assisted in
reporting games — outdoor games — a practice which was by no
means uncommon in cities larger than Washington. It was this
which drew him into Base Ball, in which he was particularly inter-
ested, and that, too, is exactly what befalls ninety printers out of
one hundred — they get interested in Base Ball.
While a resident of Washington and still engaged with the Wash-
ington Star, Mr. Heydler played Base Ball himself. He was presi-
dent for some time of the Washington Light Infantry Athletic
Association. He intimates that he considered strongly at one
time the advisability of going into the Virginia League as a regular
player. In the early twenties of his life he became ill and for
some time was compelled to cease all athletic activity. While con-
valescing he watched ball games, one of the best recreations in the
world for convalescents. He happened to be present one afternoon
when the umpire did not appear and he was asked to umpire. He
filled the position and must have succeeded, for he was invited to
umpire again. Few are the men who have been thus fortunate.
Among other games which he umpired were those for the Univer-
sity of Virginia.
While this was going on, Mr. Heydler was fortunate enough to
make the acquaintance of Nicholas E. Young, then president of the
National League, and it was through Mr. Young that Mr. Heydler
essayed to become a National League umpire. His first attempt at
major league umpiring took place one afternoon in Washington
when the regular umpire failed to make train connections. Mr.
Young suggested that Mr. Heydler become the substitute and he
accepted. The game was between Washington and Pittsburgh.
Subsequent to that, Mr. Heydler made the circuit of the National
League as an umpire. The further that he traveled and the longer
that he remained, the more determined his conviction that the posi-
tion of National League umpire was not intended for a man with-
out a steel-clad armor, mentally and physically.
While Mr. Heydler was still a resident of Washington, and Harry
Clay Pulliam was president of the National League, the latter
needed someone to make up his records for him for the season of
1902. That was the first year in which Mr. Pulliam was president
of the National League. Mr. Heydler did make up the records and
also retained his position on the newspaper for which he worked
JOHN A. HEYDLER,
President, Secretary and Treasurer of the National League of Professional
Base Ball Clubs.
SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD. 7
in Washington. Having succeeded in this new undertaking, Mr.
Heydler accepted the position of private secretary to Mr. Pulliam,
which the latter offered to him. In 1907 Mr. Pulliam went a little
better and asked the National League to make Mr. Heydler secre-
tary of that organization. This was agreed upon and the new
secretary assumed office for the first time as a regular official of
the league.
In 1909 it will be recalled that Mr. Pulliam's health failed him
and he was granted a vacation. In the meantime Mr. Heydler
acted as president. Shortly after the return of Mr. Pulliam, in a
moment of temporary aberration mentally, he took his life. Again
Mr. Heydler became acting president until such time as the league
could take action. The successor to Mr. Pulliam was Thomas
Lynch. Mr. Heydler was not a candidate to succeed Mr. Pulliam,
in spite of the fact that it has been variously asserted he was.
After the term of Thomas Lynch was ended, former Governor John
K. Tener became president of the National League. .He resigned
from office in 1918 and again Mr. Heydler became the acting presi-
dent of the league. He was unanimously elected to the office which
he now holds.
To those who have known John A. Heydler intimately has fallen
the pleasure of knowing a real man. It is possible that all such
have not invariably agreed with him. That is the real privilege of
being a member of the citizenship of the world. If we all agreed,
we never would progress. We should become heavy, dull pated,
stolid mentally and non-progressive generally. Mr. Heydler acts
from the convictions to which he tries to bring a free mind. His
conclusions may not be in conformity with those of the party of
the second part, but the party of the second part invariably car-
ries away with him the assurance that the party of the first part
is trying to be right. That is more than half way in any argu-
ment. He is a democratic man, a man who never hesitates at
work, and one who is better satisfied to do something well without
ornaments than to turn forth a great many ornaments with a
foundation of gingerbread. The writer knew him when he was an
umpire and has had the unalloyed pleasure of knowing him ever
since. There was a time when one was in New York and the other
in Washington, when there were not so many opportunities to
meet, but the pleasure of the acquaintance never has ceased.
Whatever Mr. Heydler tries to do for Base Ball in his capacity
as principal executive of the National League, he will try to do
well ; but no matter what he tries, he will not be thoroughly suc-
cessful if he does not receive sincere co-operation. That has been
proved too often. He is approachable and will discuss Base Ball
to the last stroke of the clock and is perfectly willing not to dis-
cuss Base Ball politics, which have too often succeeded Base Ball
as a sport. There would be no Base Ball politics if the critics of
the game absolutely and unreservedly ceased to write about that
which is supposed to be Base Ball politics. Such questions are
usually dormant unless there is someone to stir the pudding. Mr.
Heydler's amusements are golf, fishing, the ocean and music.
Although not a musician, he enjoys music.
He has accepted his office in a quiet, matter-of-fact manner, and
the affairs of the National League are going on as they did prior
to the day that he was not president. The writer's belief is that
they will thus continue to go on until the term of his office is at
an end. He will do his part every minute to try to make Base
Ball successful. He will do it because he is of the school of men
who are in Base Ball with that deep-seated love of the sport that
no human being on earth ever can know unless he has been through
Base Ball from the "days of its infancy" to the present.

The Spalding Base Ball Hall of Fame
NATIONAL LEAGUE
In the National League, many of the faces that were seen in the
Hall of Fame in 1918 will be found again in 1919. The shorter
season did not give any added advantage to the younger players,
as, in the long run, those who were best able to prove their effi-
ciency again demonstrated that the player with the most expert-
ness will hold his own against anyone.
The greatest discussion, so far as the National League is con-
cerned, has been relative to the batting championship. The situa-
tion is unusual. Southworth of Pittsburgh, who played in about
half of the games of the league, leads the batters. Wheat of
Brooklyn, who played in fewer games than Roush of Cincinnati, is
first below Southworth. It is evident that, in a condition of this
character, attention must be given to the player who has worked
a longer period. Were it anything but batting, the editor of the
Base Ball Record would feel that it would not be inadvisable to
consider fifty games as a standard.
In batting, however, it is well known that the player who goes
through all of a season meets more and severer chances than the
player who takes part in the game in but part of the season. The
pitchers are always more proficient as a season draws nearer to its
finish. It perhaps would be the position of some that the batters,
too, are more proficient as the season draws to its close. If they
are, it really is needed, because we do know that pitchers make
better records in the latter part of the playing season than they
do in the spring months. Hence, the conditions have not been
altered materially.
Everything considered, the editor would give the honor of lead-
ing the league to Wheat of Brooklyn, with Roush of Cincinnati so
close a second that there is nothing much between them except the
variation of units, and Southworth of Pittsburgh, third, entitled
to a great deal of "very honorable mention." Roush led the league
in 1918. Both Wheat and Roush have proved that they are bat-
ters of the highest type, as batters exist in the National League at
the present time. They are not like the .400 batters of the past,
but they arc assuredly a trifle superior to the average batters who
have played Base Ball in the major leagues for the last two or
three years.
It may be that no more .400 batters are likely to be born. It is
almost certain that all batting will have its limitations, with the
gloves now used by fielders and their speed, and there does not
seem to be a speck of an indication in the sky that gloves will be
abandoned. It is not true that unusual pitching has subordinated
the batting, so much as it is true that the thick glove has given
the fielder the daring to undertake to stop or catch anything which
is batted ; and, in addition to the daring, the glove helps the fielder
because, by the thickness of its protection, a cushion is afforded to
field the ball, which is far better than the cushion of the hand.
The player who made the most base hits — singles — in the
National League in 1918 was Hollocher, the newcomer with Chi-
cago. He made a great many of them at timely moments, which is
even better than making the greatest number. The most two-base
hits were made by Groh of Cincinnati, who was equally successful
the year before. The leader in three-base hits was Daubert of
Brooklyn, with 15, and the home run batter again wai Cravath of
1, Zack Wheat, Brooklyn, leading batsman. 2, C. J. Hollocher, Chicago, leader
in single base hits and most hits. 3, H. K. Groh, Cincinnati, leader in two-
base hits, best run scorer and leading third baseman. 4, J. Daubert, Brooklyn,
leader in three-base hits. 5, Edd Boush, Cincinnati, leader in sacrifice hits.

NATIONAL LEAGUE PLAYEBS IN THE SPALDING BASE BALL
HALL OF FAME.
SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD. 23
Philadelphia, although this time he did not share the honor with
another player, as he did in the season before.
If Roush did fall back just enough to permit Wheat to get the
lead over him for the batting championship, he did not forget to
sacrifice, when it was his play to do so, and in 1918 he led the
league with 33 sacrifice hits.
In addition to having more two-baggers than any other batter,
Groh of Cincinnati led the league in making runs. His total for
3918 was 88, figures coincident with the figure "8" of the year.
His total of two-base hits was 28, in which the figure "8" again
was involved. The best base stealer in the National League in 1918
was Carey of Pittsburgh, with 58, and again the figure "8" comes
to the front. It was quite an "8" year.
In all these figures it is obvious that it is quite out of the ques-
tion to try to compare the season of 1918 with that of any other
season, for the very good reason that it was some thirty games
shorter than the standard playing season. The year 1918, in which
Base Ball was forced to suspend in order that the players might be
released to occupations which would help the war, always will
stand isolated in its relations to the other seasons of National
League history. Purely from the standpoint of the lover of rec-
ords and the individual who does not see anything but dry detail
In figures, and from a purely sentimental standpoint, this will be
regretted ; but there lives not a soul who will regret that every-
thing was done to try to win the war for freedom.
The editor of the Record will award the lead in the catching
department to Killefer of Chicago. Throughout the season it was
universally recognized that his excellent work behind the bat was
one of the primary factors for the success of the champions of
1918. Killefer caught 104 games, with a percentage of .982.
Schmidt in the same number of games had a percentage of .981. It
is obvious that in actual work behind the bat, here were two catch-
ers who were running neck and neck, so to speak. However, as
Killefer was a trifle ahead, there will not be the slightest hesitancy
in awarding him the lead for the reason that his team won the
championship. A catcher of a championship team necessarily must
be working at top speed all of the time if he can do so well in
more than one hundred games. Schmidt of Pittsburgh is entitled
to very honorable mention. His work was so nearly up to the
standard of the other catcher that it cannot be overlooked, espe-
cially in view of the fact that it was such a great personal improve*
ment over the record which was made by Schmidt in 1917. Per-
haps no catcher in the National League has shown more improve-
ment in one year than was shown by Schmidt.
Konetchy of Boston again leads the first basemen of the league
with a good percentage for the season. He was hard pressed by
Daubert of Brooklyn, but he played in more games than the latter
and in every way held up his fielding standard.
The leading second baseman of the league on the basis of fifty
games is Fisher of St. Louis. So far as second base is concerned,
there is another "condition of closeness." Doyle of New York
played 73 games and was just under Fisher. Doolan of Brooklyn
played 91 games — almost all of the season — and was not far below
Fisher. Cutshaw of Pittsburgh played 126 games, more than any
other player at second, but was lower in percentage than all of
those who have been named.
Groh of Cincinnati leads the third basemen. He played 126
games at third base and was three points better in the average
than McKechnie of Pittsburgh, who played the same number of
games. Groh has been much complimented for his ability on total
chances, yet we find that McKechnie was within nine of him and
that Smith of Boston had more than either.
1, T. R. Cobb, Detroit, leading batsman and leader in three-base hits. 2,
Walter Johnson, Washington, lowest average of runs earned off pitcher. 3, G.
H. Ruth, Boston, and, 4, W. C. Walker, Philadelphia, tied for lead in making
home run hits. 5, D Shean, Boston, leader in sacrifice hits. 6, G. Sisler, St.
Louis, leader in stolen bases. 7, R. Chapman, Cleveland, best run scorer. 8, G.
Burns, Philadelphia, leader in single base hits and most hits. 9, R. Perkins,
Philadelphia, leading catcher. 10, Tris Speaker, Cleveland, leader in two-base
hits. 11, C. A. Gandil, Chicago, leading first baseman. 12, J. Gedeon, St.

AMERICAN LEAGUE PLAYERS IN THE SPALDING BASE BALL
HALL OF FAME,
SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD. 25
The leading shortstop of the league was Fletcher of New York.
Notwithstanding the splendid record made by Hollocher of Chi-
cago, the figures show that the veteran of the New York team not
only took more chances than Hollocher, but played the ball much
cleaner for his percentage of .959 against .929 lor Hollocher.
Fletcher perhaps played the best Base Ball that he ever did in his
life. He covered more ground, got into more plays and, on top of
that, directed the field work of the team.
Neale of Cincinnati is unquestionably the leading outfielder, with
a percentage of .981 in 102 games. The surprising condition about
the outfield figures of 1918 is the falling off of many of the vet-
erans who have been considered to be the standard outfielders,
judged by their percentages. Paskert, who led the '.eague in 1917,
^vas next to Neale, but there were others who had been well at the
top in seasons prior to 1918 who did not find the road of last year
easy to travel.
The leading pitcher of the National League for the season of
1918, based on the earned run standard of perfection, is Vaughn of
Chicago. His work during the season that found the Chicagos the
championship club of the league was in almost every respect the
best that he ever did in his career as a professional Base Ball
player. His control was excellent, and assisted by a clever catcher
— Killefer — his judgment in pitching was improved. He had plenty
of speed and throughout the season pitched with an easy free arm
motion, which seemed to indicate that whatever trouble he might
have had in the past with his pitching arm had quite left him
That he was an important factor in winning the pennant for the
Chicago team will be undisputed.
AMERICAN LEAGUE
The season of 1918 brought changes in the personnel of the
American League Hall of Fame, but it did not include the taking
away of the batting leadership from Cobb of Detroit. Every Base
Ball enthusiast likes the fellow who can hit the ball. Some, who
care little about the question of the best first baseman or out-
fielder, do like to know who proved to be the best batter ; and
again it is Cobb. It was the eleventh time in the last twelve years
that he outbatted his fellow players. He also made more three-
base hits than any other player of the organization, but he did not
capture any more of the plums. In the season before, he made
almost a clean sweep of everything which had to do with scor-
ing runs.
Cobb's principal rivals for batting supremacy were Burns of
Philadelphia and Sisler of St. Louis. It is true there were players
with better batting percentages than these latter two, but they did
not play in enough games to warrant being taken into considera-
tion. Both Sisler and Burns played more games than Cobb, but
the lead of the Detroit player is such that it is safe to say he
would have held his own in an equal number of games, unless
there had been a collapse in his work quite out of precedent with
anything which he had done in the past.
If Burns of Philadelphia did not lead in batting, so far as per-
centage goes, he did lead in the number of single base hits which
were made by any one player. The total number of hits which he
batted during the year was 178, and of these, 141 were singles.
That is a record in batting of which any player may be proud. It
was only ten less than were made by Cobb in 1917, when the season
Went through to its completion. Burns also made the most hits of
any player in the league. His total was 178, and second to him
was Cobb with 161.
26 SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD.
It was Cobb who made the most two-base hits in 1917, but
Speaker of Cleveland took that honor away from him in 1918, with
33 to his credit. Indeed, making two-base hits seemed to be just
what Speaker liked most of all. He had a total of 150 hits, and
when a player can make 33 of those good for two bases, he is
helping along the batting strength of his team when it comes to
scoring runs. It is the added base which frequently is of most
value in Base Ball, as a base nearer home is always a base nearer
a run, and games are won by runs, and by nothing else.
The home run honor was divided between Ruth, the famous
heavy hitting pitcher of the Boston club, and Walker. Each of
them made eleven, and somp of the drives were so long as to be
specially noted for their flight. Each made home runs in double
figures, while in 1917 no player succeeded in doing as much.
The most runs in the American League were made by Chapman
of Cleveland, who took the honor away from Bush, the best scorer
in the preceding year. Chapman was closely pressed with his total
of S4, as Cobb made 83 and Hooper of Boston scored 81. It is
seldom that three players run so closely together as these three did
in this respect. All of them are alert on the bases and are known
as good jun.-getters. They most assuredly lived up to their repu-
tation last season.
The most successful sacrifice hitter in the league was Shean of
Boston, with a total of 36. Closest in pursuit of him, and very
close, was Chapman of Cleveland, with 3.5 — Chapman being the
leader in 1917 — and Mclnnis of Boston, with 32.
Sisler captured one honor by a wide margin. His total of stolen
bases was 45, while Roth of Cleveland was second with 35 and
Cobb finished third with 34.
In fielding honors, Gandil of Chicago again led the first base-
men. It was the third year in succession in which he proved his
ability in that respect. He played first base in 114 games. Mclnnis
of Boston, who played first in 94 games, was second, and Sisler of
St. Louis, who was at first in 114 games, was third. There was
little margin between them, as the fielding percentage of the leader
was .992, which was shared by Mclnnis at the same figure, with
Sisler at their heels with .990.
Gedeon of St. Louis was the best fielding second baseman, with
a percentage of .977 for 123 games, while E. Collins of Chicago, in
96 games, made a percentage of .974. Baker of New York led the
third basemen with a percentage of .972 in 126 games. That was
not the highest percentage made by a third baseman during the
season, but Baker played so many more games than any of his
rivals that he deserves the credit which goes to the leading third
baseman of the season. Scott of Boston was the honor shortstop
with a percentage of .976 in 126 games. McBride of Washington,
who has held the honor in the past, played shortstop in only 14
games, and during those he fielded at a rate of .987. In total
number of games played, Peckinpaugh of New York, who partici-
pated in 122, was next to Scott with an average of .961.
The leading catcher, so far as records go, was Perkins of Phila-
delphia, with a percentage of .990 in 61 games. Second to him
was O'Neill of Cleveland, whose work has steadily improved, with
a percentage of .983 for 113 games. If a player has been engaged
in fifty games or more it is the custom to give him the rating to
which he is entitled, and on that basis Perkins would be credited
with the honor over O'Neill.
On the basis of earned runs per game, Johnson of Washington
led the league. He is fully entitled to the honor, as throughout
the season his work in the box was excellent. He pitched many
extra inning games, and there is no doubt that his ability as a

pitcher had much to do with keeping Washington up in the race.
Johnson has not always been fortunate in being the league leader,
in spite of the fact that he is known as one of the best pitchers
in Base Ball. In 1917 Cicotte of Chicago led him at the finish,
but in 1913 Johnson is in front and the fans throughout the coun-
try who are fond of his work in the box will be glad that such is
the case. Tt is true that Faber of Chicago had a better percentage,
with 1.22 against 1.28, but it must be taken into consideration
that Faber pitched only eleven games before he left the Chicagos
to enter the service, while Johnson took part in 39 games. The
extra burden, which is apparent between a total of 11 games and
39 games, certainly must have its effect upon awarding the pitch-
ing honors for the season.
The pitchers of the Boston club, which won the championship,
did not rate so high in the earned run record. Bush is the best
of that club with 2.11. Next to him comes Mays with 2.21, and
then Ruth with 2.22. Leonard dropped far back with 2.72. When
these pitching figures are studied, one is led to believe that it was
more than a combination of good pitching that helped the Boston
club to win. Good batting, good base running and intelligent and
well applied management, as well as excellent fielding. In other
words, the championship was won by a team which could combine
all winning qualities to the best advantage, whether the pitching
was as good as the one run and a fraction percentage or not.
On the basis of fifty games, which is always accepted in deter-
mining the leading outfielder, Strunk was in front with a per-
centage of .988 in 113 games. Three players — Jackson, Chicasro ;
Hyatt, New York, and W. Milled, Boston, finished the season with
a clean slate — 1.000 per cent — but none of them played in more
than 25 games, and one of them in as few as ten.
The greatest number of assists from the outfield was made by
two players — Walker of Philadelphia and Demmitt of St. Louis.
Each had a total of 25 to his credit. The greatest number of
assists- in the catching department was made by O'Neill of Cleve-
land, with 154 in 113 games. Perkins of Philadelphia made 103
in 61 games, which is a fine showing.
It is quite true that none of these records can be given com-
parison in full with previous seasons, because of the shortened
Base Ball year; but, notwithstanding that fact, they are good
enough to prove that good Base Ball was played in spite of
adversity.

Six games were necessary to complete the world series of 1918.
Under new rule, first three games were played at Chicago and
next three at Boston. The Boston American League club won
twice in Chicago and twice in Boston.
The attendance was not so large as in other years, but excel-
lent with the world at war and Base Ball affected by conditions
not of its own making. The series was played for the first time iu
its history by the consent of the United States Government. This
became necessary on account of the existence of the so-called "work
or fight" order, by which all males subject to draft were notified
either to enter an essential occupation or be called to the army. A
time limit had been placed upon the services to be rendered by the
ball players to their respective clubs. This limit expired September
1, but in the case of those who were to take part in the world
series the limit was extended to September 15.
The games were well contested. The pitching was able, as
indicated by the small scores. The individual performances of the
players were up to the standard. The fielding was perhaps a trifle
better than in some years. This may have been due to the fact
that the series was played much earlier and the cold winds of
October were not at hand to numb the muscles of the contestants.
A more extended account of the series and its games will be
found in the Spalding Official Base Ball Guide of 1919. The
following is a record of the games as played, including scores :
FIRST GAME— AT CHICAGO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5.
With fewer spectators than have seen the world series begin in
the past, with less enthusiasm, although not lacking music and
cheering, a flag raising and songs, and that the game had been post-
poned a day because of the inclement weather on September 4, the
first contest between Boston American League and Chicago National
League was played on Charles A. Comiskey's field in Chicago.
It was won by a single tally, and that was the solitary run
of the game. Shean scored it, and the start given him for the
run was due to a base on balls. He was the first batter in the
fourth inning. Vaughn tried to puzzle him with curves, but failed.
Shean bats right-handed. Strunk attempted to sacrifice, but popped
a weak fly to Vaughn. Whiteman made his second hit of the
game — and, by the way, he was the only batter of either team
who made two hits during this particular contest — and Shean went
to second. Mclnnis rapped the ball to left field for a clean base hit
and Shean scored.
In the first inning Chicago had its most promising opportunity
to score, although, sad for the Cubs, there were two hands out at
SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD.
31
the time. The bases were filled and Pick was the batter. A single
of any force would have scored at least one run — more likely two —
while a long drive surely would have cleared the bases, as the
Boston players were on edge and nervously expectant. Pick lifted
a high fly to left field and Whiteman got the ball. Boston players
breathed a sigh of satisfied relief and the Chicago fans murmured
their disappointment. Whiteman had to make a long run to be suc-
cessful with the catch, and had he dropped the ball there easily
could have been registered one of those "excusable errors" which
are so healing to the disconsolate spirits of the losing — enthusiasts
and players alike.
In the sixth inning another long run by Whiteman — again for
a fly — perhaps saved the day a second time for Boston. Once more
there were two hands out and this time Whiteman was forced to
speed with the ball instead of running into it. He captured the
drive and the Chicagos again sat blankly in the shadow of their
dugout. It was their last real threat of the day.
So far as Vaughn's pitching was concerned, it is but justice to
say that it would have won anything but a one to nothing game ;
and one to nothing games are not common either in a championship
for the Base Ball supremacy of the world or during the regular
programme of the championship season. The score of the game

SECOND GAME— AT CHICAGO, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6.
Better weather and better conditions in every way increased the
attendance at the second game of the world series. Manager
Mitchell of the Chicago club continued his attack upon the Amer-
ican League team with left-hand pitchers and selected George
Tyler to oppose Bush. The game ended with the score 3 — 1 in
favor of Chicago, and the outcome of the contest greatly aroused
the spirits of the supporters of the Chicago club.
Tyler not only pitched well against Boston but batted well. It
was a base hit made by him that scored two runs for the National
League representatives. The Boston players were unable to score
in any inning except the ninth, and their rally with a lone run in
SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD. 33
that inning was exciting for a moment but futile — a flash in the
pan in a contest that was fated apparently to go to their rivals.
In the second inning Bush gave Merkle a base on balls. Pick
bunted. The ball rolled toward third base and Thomas was unable
to field it in time to stop the batter. Deal flied out without advanc-
ing the runners. Killefer did most of his batting for the series
this time and rapped a two bagger which scored Merkle and placed
Pick on third. Tyler hit safely and Pick and Killefer scored, while
Tyler was retired trying to reach second base. These three runs
decided the game in favor of the Chicago players.
In the sixth inning the Chicagos were very dangerous, but they
failed to score. Hollocher began the inning with a three bagger.
The infield played close and Mann died at first base, Scott throwing
him out. Paskert batted sharply to Scott and this time Hollocher
made an effort to score, but was unable to do so. He was retired
at the plate by the shortstop's assist. Merkle followed with a single
which placed Paskert on third. The runners essayed a double steal,
but it failed to go through and the inning ended without a run.
An accurate throw to the plate extinguished Boston's last chance
to score in the second inning, although for a few moments it seemed
as if the American League representatives would get a run home.
Whiteman began with a base on balls. Killefer and Tyler ran
together trying to field Mclnnis' bunt and two were on the bases.
Scott sacrificed cleverly and Thomas followed at bat. He rapped
the ball to Pick, who threw home and cut Whiteman out at the
plate as he was sliding. Agnew fouled to Flack.
In the eighth inning Schang, batting for Agnew, made a base hit.
Hooper hit safely to right and Schang, trying for third, was thrown
out by Flack. That broke up a most promising start.
Boston's only run was made in the ninth. Strunk, the first
batter, rapped the ball against the right field fence and scored
when Whiteman hit the center field fence with a three bagger.
Mclnnis was thrown out at first, Whiteman playing safe and not
leaving third. Scott received a base on balls. Dubuc batted for
Thomas and struck out. Schang, batting for Agnew, flied to Hol-
locher and the game was over. The score follows :

THIRD GAME— AT CHICAGO, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7.
Still adhering to his policy of using left-hand pitchers against
the Boston club, Manager Mitchell tried Vaughn for the second
time against the American League champions, but again Vaughn
was beaten, this time by the insignificant score of 2 to 1. In
two games Boston scored but three runs against him, yet he was
unlucky enough to be defeated because his team mates could score
but once in eighteen innings.
The crowd was the largest of any in Chicago. The series stood
one-all, and Saturday half holiday helped to increase the attendance
as well as weather that was perhaps more favorable to games of a
world significance than any that had fallen upon the city since
the beginning of the series.
The fourth inning, which has proved momentous in so many
world series games, witnessed the undoing of Vaughn. Whiteman
was hit by a pitched ball. Mclnnis rapped a safe hit and Whiteman
went to second. Schang batted Vaughn for another single and
Whiteman scored, Mclnnis running to third. Scott rolled a little
grounder in front of the plate and Vaughn was cauglit completely
off his guard and stood like one transfixed, so that Mclnnis scored
and the batter reached first in safety. Thomas batted a single to
right field and Schang, who attempted to score from second base,
was thrown out by Flack. Mays flied to center field.
In the fifth inning Pick began with a two base hit. It was a
feeble sort of an affair, as the ball bounded to the outfield after
hitting Scott on the leg. Deal flied out. Killefer batted safely and
Pick scored. That was Chicago's sole run. The underhand pitch-
' ing of Mays fooled the Chicago batters in all other innings except
in the ninth, when the Cubs made a bit of a rally that for a
moment seemed as if it might tie the score. With two out, Pick
again hit safely. He stole second and went to third on a passed
ball. Barber, meanwhile, was batting for Deal. Schang under-
took to nip Pick at third base and the ball was dropped and rolled
away from Thomas. The Chicago second baseman, without a
moment's hesitation, dashed for the plate. He was thrown out,
however, with little to spare.
While the fourth inning was a lucky one for Boston so far as
scoring runs was concerned, it also was a fortunate one for Boston
in another way, as Whiteman. running to the fence in deep left
field, caught Paskert's long fly, although he bumped into the boards
as the ball was seized. Mann was on base at the time and might
almost have walked home had the catch not been made. The score
of the game follows :

FOURTH GAME— AT BOSTON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9.
Left-hand pitchers opposed one another in the opening game at
Boston. Ruth pitched for the home team and Tyler for Chicago.
The weather was fair and the ground rather heavy. The crowd
was not so large as some Boston crowds of the past, but it was
decidedly larger than had been predicted.
Once more the fourth inning stepped forth to show its somewhat
weird significance in world series games. Shean, the first. batter,
was given a base on balls by Tyler. Strunk rapped a line drive
to center field which was caught by Paskert. Tyler took his time
to wind up before delivering the ball, and Shean was off at the
moment that the pitcher had either to "let go" or be charged with
a balk. Killefer, wTho had been wTatching the bases and knew what
was about to happen, was in such haste to get the ball away from
him that he missed it, as it came to the plate, and a short passed
ball let Shean anchor easily on second. Whiteman was the next
batter and Tyler gave him a pass to first. Mclnnis hit hard, but a
force-out resulted at third on Shean. Ruth batted next. With two
strikes and three balls against him, Tyler took a chance and pitched
the ball squarely over the plate. Ruth hit hard to right center.
Flack did not gauge the ball accurately and it went to the fence.
Whiteman and Mclnnis scored easily and Ruth, running heavily,
reached third. Scott flied to Paskert.
In the seventh Chicago missed scoring only for the reason that
Scott made a most admirable play by stopping a ground hit over
second base. The result of the stop was a double play between
second and first.
The Cubs managed to get a better start in the eighth. Ruth
was not at his best in the seventh and was clearly flustered in
the inning following. Killefer. the first batter, was given a base
on balls. Hendrix, batting in place of Tyler, and something of a
hitter in pinches, rapped the ball safely to left field. Ruth followed
with a wild pitch, which moved both runners, Killefer going to
third and Hendrix to second. Flack tried to hit hard to right field,
but was put out at first by Mclnnis, who got the ball. McCabe
went into the game to run for Hendrix. Hollocher batted to second,
but was thrown out at first, Killefer scoring while the play was
being made Mann followed with a sharp single to left and McCabe
scored, tieing the count at two each. Paskert tapped a slow rolling
grounder toward third and was thrown out at first by Thomas.
Douglas took Tyler's place in the box for Chicago. Schang hatted
a single to center field and wrent to second on a short passed ball.
Hooper bunted and Douglas threw the ball beyond Merkle to the
fence. Schang scored the winning run. Hooper raced to second,
but Shean, Strunk and Whiteman were easily retired.
In the ninth inning Merkle singled and Zeider was given a base
on balls. Ruth was sent to left field after that inauspicious begin-
ning and Bush began to pitch for Boston. Wortman bunted.
Mclnnis got the ball and threw Merkle out at third. Barber, the
next batter, rapped the ball on the nose, but Scott again saved
Boston's bacon by making a wonderfully good stop which resulted
in a double play. The score of the game follows :

FIFTH GAME— AT BOSTON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10.
Twice Manager Mitchell had called upon Vaughn to pitch for
the Chicagos in the series. Both times he had been beaten. The
first and the second were well pitched games by Vaughn, as the
Bostons made but three runs in both, yet won them. Mitchell
chose Vaughn again and his opponent in the box was Jones, who
pitched his only game of the series.
In two innings Boston had a chance to score, and those were the
only innings offering that advantage. They scored in neither.
Five hits were made against Vaughn and three double plays cleared
the bases in his favor.
Hollocher made the best record of any player for batting in any
siDgle game of the series. He hit safely three times. In his second
time at bat he received a base on balls, giving him a clean record
for the day.
Fine outfield catches by Mann and Whiteman contributed to the
excitement of the spectators. That of Mann was made in the ninth
inning. He raced up the embankment sloping above left field and
caught Miller's long and hard drive.
In the third inning, with two out, Vaughn and Flack being the
batters, Hollocher was given a base on balls. He stole second
against Agnew. Mann followed with a hard two base hit to left
field and Hollocher scored.
Strunk began the fourth with a double for the Boston club.
Whiteman batted an easy fly into the air and Mclnnis smashed a
line drive squarely into Merkle's hands. It was easy to double
Strunk off second.
In the sixth inning a perfect throw to the plate prevented the
Chicagos from scoring. Whiteman made it. Hollocher was on
second at the time and tried to score on Merkle's hit. The ball
did not roll deeply enough to the outfield and the Chicago runner
died as he was sliding.
SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD. 37
The last runs of the game were made by the Chicagos in the
eighth inning. Flack was given another base on balls. Hollocher
bunted along the third base line and both pitcher and third base-
man waited to see whether the ball would roll foul. It did not.
Two men were on the bases with Mann at bat. He popped out and
then Paskert batted the ball to left field for two bases. Flack and
Hollocher scored. The score follows :

SIXTH GAME— AT BOSTON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11.
The final and deciding game of the series was won by Boston
by the score of 2 to 1. Mays pitched for Boston and Tyler for
Chicago. The burden of defeat fell upon the shoulders of Flack,
right fielder of the Chicago club, whose muff of a line drive, with
two hands out, permitted Boston to score both of its runs. Had
it not been for this particular muff, the Boston club would have
been shut out by Chicago.
In the third inning Tyler gave Mays a base on balls. The Boston
pitcher is a weak batter and the start proved most disastrous for
the Chicago club. Hooper sacrificed, Tyler throwing him out at
first base. Shean received a base on balls. Strunk batted next
and rapped a grounder to Pick which was fielded slowly. The
batter was retired at first base, but there were two runners on bases
with Whiteman at bat. He rapped a line drive to right field and
Flack came in to get the ball. He muffed it squarely and both
Mays and Shean scored. Melnnis hit to the infield and Whiteman
was thrown out at third, Hollocher to Merkle to Deal.
In the next inning Flack, for Chicago, rapped a clean base hit
over second base. Hollocher sacrificed to Melnnis. Mann was hit
by a pitched ball and Chicago's chances to score seemed excellent
until Mann was caught napping at first base by Schang, the Boston
catcher. Paskert was given a base on balls and Flack made a clean
steal of third base. Merkle batted a single to left field and Flack
scored. Had Mann not been retired the Chicago players would have
tied the score in this inning with but one hand out. Pick followed
with a hard, low line drive to right field. Hooper, who always has
been a steady and confident player in a world series, came in at
full tilt for the ball and caught it. That was Chicago's best chance
to tie the series.

In Boston's half of the fourth inning the bases were filled, but
the Chicago players held firmly and Boston failed to score, although
it seemed at the beginning of the inning as if they meant to carry
the game to a loose-jointed score. Scott and Schang were on second
and first. Mays beat out an infield hit. It was lucky that Thomas
was out after sacrificing for Scott's benefit. Merkle stopped
Hooper's hard grounder and caught Scott at the plate, while a one
hand stop by Deal of Shean's hard hit forced Mays at third and
ended the inning.
A running catch by Whiteman in the eighth inning was one of
the best plays of the series. He raced forward, threw himself at
full length, caught a hard line drive off the turf and, turning a
complete somersault, righted himself and threw the ball to Scott
with glee. The score follows :

Twenty Innings Without a Run
A new major league record for consecutive innings without a run
was made at Boston, August 1, 19J8, when Pittsburgh defeated the
home team in twenty-one innings by the score of 2 — 0. The two
runs were scored in the twenty-first inning.
The best record for consecutilve innings without a run was made
in 1909, when Washington and Detroit played eighteen innings on
July 16, in Detroit, neither side scoring.
In the twenty-first inning of the game played by Pittsburgh and
Boston in 1918, Schmidt, the Pittsburgh catcher, began with a hit
to left field. Cooper, pitcher, who had taken the place of Mayer in
the sixteenth inning, forced Schmidt out at second. Ellam was
thrown out at first base. Cooper ran to second on the play, and
when Leach batted a single to deep short field, Cooper ran to third.
Carey hit safely to left field and Cooper scored. Southworth fol-
lowed with another single and Leach scored.
Nehf pitched the full twenty-one innings for the Boston team.
Until the twenty-first inning Pittsburgh made but eight hits. In
the twelfth inning, with Massey on third base, J. Smith, the
Boston third baseman, bunted fairly. Massey came in from third
and crossed the plate, but was ordered to return to the base,
while J. Smith was called out by Umpire Quigley because of alleged
interference with the ball. It was asserted that he prevented
Schmidt, the Pittsburgh catcher, from making a possible play.
Nineteen Boston players were left on the bases and not an error
was made by the Boston team. Mayer was brilliantly supported in
the field by the Pittsburgh players throughout all the innings he
pitched. The score :

Annual Meetings
NATIONAL LEAGUE MEETING.
At the annual meeting of the National League, held in New York
City, December 10, 1918, John A. Heydler was elected president,
secretary and treasurer for a term of three years. It was agreed
to limit the membership of the Board of Directors to four. Messrs.
Hempstead, New York ; Baker, Philadelphia ; Ebbets, Brooklyn, and
Herrmann, Cincinnati, were elected for the year 1918-19. A reso-
lution was agreed upon asking the American League for a joint
meeting to discuss the player limit, the playing schedule and a
possible reorganization of the National Commission.
AMERICAN LEAGUE MEETING.
The annual meeting of the American League was held in Chicago,
December 12, 1918. The league passed a vote of confidence approving
the long and arduous term service of August Herrmann, chairman of
the National Commission It agreed to a 140 game schedule, begin-
ning about May 1 and terminating in October, at a seasonal period
in consonance with 140 games It was announced that the league
favored a player limit of twenty-one men. Charles A. Comiskey
was re-elected vice-president of the league, and the directors were
named as follows: Charles A. Comiskey, representing Chicago;
Harry Frazee, Boston ; James Dnnn, Cleveland, and Jacob Ruppert,
New York. The league passed a resolution to meet with the
National League in joint conference in New York, January 16. A
rule was enacted that waivers may not be recalled if the player
upon whom waiver is asked is claimed by a club of the American
League.
NATIONAL COMMISSION MEETING.
At the annual meeting of the National Commission, held in Cin-
cinnati, January 6, 1919, the question of reorganization was deferred
until after the joint conference between the major leagues in New
York City, January 16. A. L Tearney, president of the III
League and chairman of a committee appointed to request altera-
tions of the draft and optional agreement provisions, appeared
before the commission. The commission said the matter would be
presented to the joint meeting of the leagues.
The commission announced that it had received inquiries as to
their status from several National Agreement ball players, who
before the completion of the full term of their 1918 contracts were
given their release and now contend that they are free agents.
This action by the various National Agreement clubs was taken
with the sanction of the National Commission, because of the strict
enforcement by the Federal Government of its work or fight order.
All National Agreement players were notified that the priority of
their respective 1918 clubs to retain them for this season, as
reserved by the various clubs, would be respected in order that the
organization of major and minor leagues and the equipment of
their respective clubs might be retained and the resumption of the
game be effected without impairment to the interests of clubs or
players.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION MEETING.
At the annual meeting of the National Association of Profes-
sional Base Ball Leagues, which began at Peoria, 111., November
12, committees were appointed as follows :
Revision of Constitution — T. J. Hickey, Chicago ; J. H. Farrell,
Auburn. N. Y., and Walter Morris, Fort Worth, Texas. Creden-
tials— John C. Ryan, Peoria, 111. ; Nick P. Corish, Savannah, Ga.,
and Dan O'Neill, Hartford, Conn. Resolutions — George K. Belden,
Minneapolis, Minn. ; W. B. Bradley, Richmond, Va., and E. J. Han-
Ion, Sioux City, Iowa. Audit — D. A. Baugh, Birmingham, Ala. ; G.
E. Muehlebach, Kansas City, Mo.
The Committee on Territorial Rights was constituted as follows :
Jack Holland, Oklahoma City ; Roger Bresnahan, Toledo ; G. G.
Muehlebach, Kansas City ; Jack Ryan, Peoria, and Michael H. Sex-
ton, Rock Island, chairman. The Committee on Rectification of
Leagues and Salaries : G. K. Belden, Minneapolis ; M. J. Finn,
Chattanooga ; Dan O'Neill, Hartford ; Lee Blackman, Moline, and
J. H. Farrell, Auburn, N. Y.
A resolution was adopted protesting against the draft of players
from minor leagues. President Thomas J. Hickey of the American
Association strongly urged the minors to immediately withdraw
from affiliation with the majors if the demand was refused. The
next annual mpeting will be hold at Sprinefipld. Mass-
The resolution demanding that the further drafting of players by
the major leagues cease was prepared by President A. R. Tearney
of the III. League and was presented by John Holland, owner of
the St. Joe (Mo.) team of the Western League.
It was adopted after a lengthy discussion by the magnates pres-
ent, and President Michael H. Sexton named A. R. Tearney, Chi-
cago, chairman ; Jack Holland, Oklahoma City, and Joseph B.
Tinker, Columbus, Ohio, a committee of three to present the
demands of the minors to the National Commission at its first
sitting.
The association also adopted a resolution protesting against
options from majors to minors and went on record as favoring the
drafting of players among the minors and the advancing of the C
and D men to the AA and A circuits before these young stars are
sent to the majors.
The classification of new leagues to be organized after peace is
declared will be determined by the aggregate population of cities
comprising the circuits. Class A A leagues must have an aggregate
population of 1.750,000; Class A, 1,000,000; Class B, 400,000 to
1,000,000; Class C, 200,000 to 400,000; Class D, under 200,000.
In connection with the reclassification, John H. Farrell, secretary
of the association, ruled that the territory formerly claimed by the
III. League, Central League and Central Association was now open.
INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE MEETING.
Members of the International League met at the Imperial Hotel
in New York, December 9. The pennant for 1918 was awarded to
the Toronto club. President Farreli's report was read and adopted.
The clubs professed willingness to go forward with the season of
1919. Suggestion was made for a salary limit based on the receipts-
and disbursements of the season. John Dunn of the Baltimore
club opposed the drafting of players of Class AA by the major
leagues.

INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE ELECTS PRESIDENT.
At the meeting of the International League, which was held in
New York, January 6, 1919, David L. Fultz was elected president of
the organization for one year. Mr. Fultz succeeded John H. Far-
rell, who resigned. Fultz is a graduate of Brown University, where
he played foot ball and Base Ball, captaining his teams in his
junior and senior years. He took up professional Base Ball at the
end of his college career and played on the Baltimore National
League team in 1899. He played the outfield with Milwaukee in
1900, the first year of the American League, and came to Phila-
delphia with Connie Mack in 1901. He was one of the stars of
Mack's first championship Athletic club in 1902.
In 1903 Fultz cast his lot with the all-star Yankee team with
which Clark Griffith invaded New York in that year. He later
won fame as a foot ball official, and in 1912 originated the Players'
Fraternity and was elected its first president. He continued at its
head until it was dissolved. Rochester was not represented at the
meeting. The league passed a resolution requesting that the draft
be lifted from the International League.
Options and Drafts
Because of the disbandment of most of the minor league clubs
prior to August 1 and subsequent neglect to file agreements, and
inability in many cases to obtain them, the National Commission
calls attention to the fact that its record of such players for last
season naturally is incomplete. So far as it is possible to do so
the editor of the Record herewith announces the names of such
players as were recalled by major league clubs.
NATIONAL LEAGUE.

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD, 61
Comparing 1918 National League
Records with Other Years
Whenever the records of the National League for the season of
1918 are to be considered, it will be well to place them in a class
by themselves. Conditions were abnormal and not equal because of
the various results which followed the world war. Individual play-
ers, of course, will always be entitled to their totals in the reckon-
ings for successive years. There may be some who will not be
proud of their totals, but it is their fault if their showing is not
what they anticipated. An equal number of games was not played
by the clubs, and the championship was decided, not according to
the fixed rule of the National League on a basis of 154 games, but
on the basis of whatever happened to exist between the time that
it was known the league must end its season in September and a
few extra games which could be "sandwiched in," that the total
might be made to correspond as nearly with other years as possible.
While there has been some little controversy in regard to who is
entitled to the championship of the league in batting, it is the
opinion of the editor of the Base Ball Record, as explained else-
where, that it was earned by Wheat of Brooklyn. It must be
granted that Roush of Cincinnati gave him a race that was a
"corker." In more games he was so close at his heels that Wheat
could have heard him if the wind had been blowing his way.
Another feature about the records of 1918 must not be over-
looked. In perhaps a half dozen instances, players who had been
away from their teams, in the service, returned for a brief period
to play during furlough. Of course, when they came back, they
were not in the same condition for skilled work as they had been
previously. Naturally they did not go at their best, although they
assuredly enjoyed getting back into the game.
The leading run-getter in 1918 was Groh of Cincinnati. In 1917
the leading run-getter was Burns of New York. In 1917 Burns
was first in the batting order, as Groh was first in 1918. It has
been contended that the player who is first in the batting order
always has a distinct advantage over every other player in the
matter of making the most runs. Burns was dropped down in the
batting order in 1918 for a portion of the time, to "clean up,"
rather than to start batting play. Naturally he did not get to bat
as many times as if he had been leading the batting order steadily.
He was placed as lead-off man later in the season, but there had
been so many games in which he batted further down the list, that
it was out of the question for him to get into the same run-
making total. Possibly this fact will have proved the contention
that, other things being equal, it is not possible for a player to
surpass another who is the lead-k)ff man, so far as making runs is
concerned.
In addition to the tabulated records, President and Secretary
Heydler of the National League this year adds the records of all
men who took part in few games. Naturally there are a great
many of them, as the shifts which were compelled from time to
time in order to keep teams in the field, because of the departure
of men who were called to the service, were so common that all of
the managers were surprised to find a day on which it was not
necessary to make some kind of a change. The averages follow :

The letter "r," or "1," denotes a right-handed or left-handed batter; "1-r."
signifies that the batsman ordinarily bats left-handed, but changes to opposite
side of batter's box when facing a left-handed pitcher; "r.-l." means that a
right-handed batter reverses this procedure.

PITCHERS' RECORDS.
See pages 73 and 74 for complete pitchers' records.
In arranging the National League pitchers of 1918 in order of their effective-
ness, it was found expedient to divide the pitchers into three groups, same
as 1917. The first of these embraces all those who bore the brunt of the
campaign and pitched at least 10 complete games; the second, those who
participated in a minimum of 10 games, regardless of the length of same;
and the third comprising all others who took part in a championship contest.
The percentage of games won and lost is given, with notation of the
relative position of each pitcher, this special record being supplied in order
that comparison may be made with the official earned-run rating.
Vaughn, Chicago, won title of leading pitcher with an average of least
runs earned per game of 1.74; also leads in number of games won, 22. The
best percentage of games won and lost was obtained by Hendrix, Chicago, ,741,
Grimes, Brooklyn, pitched in the greatest number of games, 40. Vaughn
and Tyler, both members of the champion team, Chicago, had 8 shutouts
each. Vaughn leads in number of strikeouts in a season, 148.
In consecutive victories, Grimes, Brooklyn, had a run of 10 victories,
July 18 to August 20.
Consecutive defeats, J. Oeschger, Philadelphia, 9, July 8 to August 17.
Pitching the most defeats, Marquard, Brooklyn, and Oeschger, Philadelphia,
had 18 each.
Cheney, Brooklyn, made 5 wild pitches in St. Louis-Brooklyn game, July 9.
Most number of strikeouts in a single game, Vaughn, Chicago, 12, Cin-
cinnati-Chicago, May 30.
Most number of bases on balls In a game, 13, by pitcher Schneider, Cincin-
nati-Philadelphia, July «.

WALTER JOHNSON IN EXTRA INNINGS
So unusual was the work of Walter Johnson of the Washington
club during the season of 1918, that special attention must be
called to it. The superiority of his skill was not demonstrated so
much in the fewer number of hits which were made against him
as in the extraordinary number of extra inning games in which he
happened to be engaged — fifteen in all. It is true that it is not
always the fault of the pitcher that extra inning games are neces-
sary. More usually it is the result of bad fielding. However, when
an extra inning game is forced upon a pitcher^he is entitled to
more credit for what he must do on account of the strain. The
record of these games is as follows :
TEN INNINGS— May 9, won from Boston, 4—3; opposing pitcher, Ruth.
June 30, lose to Boston, 3—1; opposing pitcher. Mays. July 31, won from
Chicago, 3—2; opposing pitcher, Shellenback.
ELEVEN INNINGS— May 4, lost to Philadelphia, 1-4); opposing pitcher,
Perry. June 2, lost to Cleveland, 1—0; opposing pitcher, Bagby. June 5,
won from Detroit, 5—4; opposing pitcher, Dauss. July 15, won from Cleve-
land, 4—3; opposing pitcher, Coumbe.
TWELVE INNINGS— April 17, lost to New York, 8—7; opposing pitcher,
Mogridge. June 21, won from New York, 3—2; opposing pitcher, Russell.
THIRTEEN INNINGS— July 29, lost to Chicago, 1—0; opposing pitcher,
Benz.
FOURTEEN INNINGS— August 19, won from St. Louis, 3—2; opposing
pitcher, Rogers.
FIFTEEN INNINGS— July 25, won from St. Louis, 1—0; opposing pitcher,
Sothoron,
SIXTEEN INNINGS— August 15, lost to Detroit, 8—7; opposing pitcher,
Cunningham.
EIGHTEEN INNINGS— May 15, won from Chicago, 1—0; opposing pitcher,
Williams. August 4, lost to Detroit, 7—6; opposing pitcher, Dauss.

SAFE HITS IN CONSECUTIVE GAMES
Each season, brings forth candidates for the honor of making
new Base Ball records. Some player, perhaps, bats consecutively
for a number of games, another makes a fielding spurt of brilliance,
while a third accomplishes another endeavor successfully so far as
it goes. Each season some player threatens the record of safe hits
for consecutive games, but mostly it is a threat, as it will be a
difficult task for any energetic ball player, professional or amateur,
to equal the record that was made by Willie Keeler in 1897. He
did not fail to make a base hit in forty-tour consecutive games.
He began April 22 and did not stop until June 18, when Killen of
Pittsburgh, a left-hand pitcher, was sufficiently expert to prevent
him from making a safe hit in four trials. In the next six games
he hit safely again. In the 44 games in which Keeler batted safely,
he made an average of .413 with 83 safe hits in 201 chances, good
for a total of 107 bases. The tabulation of his safe hits follows :

PI
*Wm. Keeler played center field on the Brooklyn team of 1899, and in |
this position had a record in fielding of .970 and in batting of .376, ]
a total of 1.346, which would entitle him to the center field position
m the Grand National "All-America" Team, but as he had a higher |
record as right fielder of the Baltimore team in 1896, the center field I
was given to Hugh Duffy of Boston with the next highest record of 1 .336.
A. clerical error was made in the Record Book of 1908, in placing
lugh Jennings' name in the shortstop position on the Grand National !
"All-America" Team, with his splendid record of .943 in fielding and i
.386 in batting, totaling 1.329, instead of Geo. Wright, with his still more
remarkable record of .940 in fielding and .422 in batting, totaling 1.362.

Scores from second base on sacrifice fly,
George Ruth, Boston A. L., hit a tremendous fly to right which

credit for a sacrifice fly. Afternoon game, April 19, 1918.
Outfielder makes two double plays unassisted.
Tris Speaker, Cleveland A. L., made an unassisted double play in

An odd game and an unnecessary question.
In a ten -inning tie game between S't. Louis N. L. and Philadelphia,

was all, but they were good for three runs, coupled with a base on
balls. One was a homer by Cruise. After the first inning Oeschger
pitched nine without allowing a hit. Someone has asked, "Does that
entitle him to a no-hit game?"
Opposing catcher borrowed to finish game.
In the final game of a double-header between Louisville and Toledo,
July 21, 1918, Catcher Kelly of Toledo had the unusual experience of
catching for both teams. Walter Meyer had been injured and Louis-
ville was without a catcher, as Kocher had left after the first game,
so Kelly was borrowed to finish the second game for the Colonels.
Two home runs in one inning by same player.
On June 10, 1880, Buffalo at Boston, Jones, Boston, made two home
runs in the eighth, his team scoring ten times in that inning. Buf-
falo ran up nineteen errors, Esterbrook being the only player on the
team with a clean fielding record.

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD.
PART III.
Edward B. Moss.
Intercollegiate Base Ball in War Time
By Edward B. Moss, New York.
The prominent part which the American
collegian began to play in the world war early
in 1918 was reflected in the unusual condi-
tions which prevailed in the college Base Ball
of last season. In place of the lengthy sched-
ules, numerous trips and important games
staged amid the customary scenes of intercol-
legiate setting, scattering and haphazard con-
tests were the rule, with the personnel of the
teams constantly changing, as one after
another the players entered service.
The introduction of the Student Army
Training Corps with its intensive system of
Irilling, military study and rigorous routine
left little time for practice or play upon the
diamond. The bayonet took the place of the
oat and Base Ball for the time became a
?ame to be played only during the few leisure
moments of a busy day. That the sport should
have held sway at all, under the circum-
stances, speaks volumes for its hold upon the
undergraduate and the college athletic world.
The season's record is therefore little short
of remarkable. While there is missing the usual lists of from twenty to
thirty games accredited to the average college which includes Base Ball
among its major sports, far more institutions supported teams than might
bave been expected under the circumstances. Notwithstanding canceled or
curtailed schedules, unexpected loss of prominent players and absence of I
coaches, the majority of the colleges in all parts of the country were repre-
sented by teams which played, on an average, about one- third of the regular
schedule.
Some remarkable records were made, nevertheless, by 'varsity nines in
various sections of the country. In the East, Yale won all eight games played,
including two victories each over Harvard and Princeton, and single defeats
of Dartmouth, Cornell and Pennsylvania. The box work of Pitcher Talcott
was the outstanding feature, no less than fifty per cent of the victories being
shutouts. Holy Cross also was represented by a team of exceptional ability.
The nine played a most unusual war time schedule, winning twenty-five out
of twenty-nine games, tieing another, and lost but three. Among her oppo-
nents were Southern colleges, the service academies, training camp teams and
virtually all of the New England college combinations.
Colby College of Maine was another institution represented by a team with
a perfect winning percentage at the close of the season, the Waterville nine
winning eleven games straight. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute won eight
out of ten games ; Lafayette six out of eight, and Tufts, twelve out of
seventeen. Both the West Point and Annapolis academies played rather
lengthy schedules for such an upset season and showed high class ability.
The Military Academy won two-thirds of the twenty-one games played,
including among its victories the defeats of Cornell, Johns Hopkins, Ford-
ham and Springfield The Naval Academy won eleven out of fourteen con-

tests, defeating, among others, Fordham, Georgetown, West Virginia and Col-
gate. Swarthmore also ranked high with five victories out of seven games
of an abbreviated schedule.
Other teams which approximately broke even in the rather short series of
the 1918 season were Syracuse, six won and six lost ; Brown, five out of
eleven games won; Cornell, five won, five lost; Dartmouth, six out of thir-
teen ; Union, five out of thirteen, and Villanova, seven out of eleven. Har-
vard and Princeton played nine and six games, respectively. The Crimson
showing was not up to the usual standard and the same is true of the
Orange and Black.
Middle Western colleges maintained a high percentage during the season,
although the same handicaps and uncertainties prevailed that marked the
season in the East. The play of the University of Michigan team was one of
the features of this section. The Wolverines won sixteen out of seventeen
games, defeating Chicago, Notre Dame, Indiana, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio State
and other strong teams. Chicago scored the single triumph of the season
against Michigan, winning the second of a series of three games. Notre
Dame, with ten out of fifteen games won ; Michigan Agricultural College, with
seven out of twelve ; Purdue, six out of thirteen ; Indiana, four out of thir-
teen, and Ohio State, nine out of fourteen, were among the stronger college
teams of the section.
In the South, West Virginia, had a well balanced winning team, as the
record of fourteen victories, out of eighteen games played, proved. The nine
defeated several strong Eastern teams during its Northern trip, including
Syracuse, Colgate, Dartmouth and the United States Military Academy, as
well as winning three straight from Virginia. The latter won seven out of
•eleven, losing one contest to North Carolina in addition to the West Virginia
defeats. The Mt. St. Mary's combination won nine out of twelve games and
Virginia Poly won eight out of twelve, Kentucky had a strong team, win-
ning seven out of nine, with victories over Georgetown College and Tennessee.
On the Pacific Coast, California won seven out of eleven, including two
games of the three played against Stanford. St. Mary's College of Oakland
Svon ten out of fifteen played, defeating, among other teams, California and
Stanford. The University of Texas team was one of the best along the
Southern border. The Austin collegians won all but one of eighteen games
played. Four of their victories were shutouts, while double figure scores
were made in seven games, the largest being thirty runs in one contest. The
solitary defeat was a 1. to 0 shutout scored by Texas Agricultural and
Mechanical, which later was twice defeated. The latter combination was
another nine of exceptional strength playing in the same section, winning
fourteen out of nineteen games, six of which were shutouts.
Prospects for the coming season in college Base Ball are such as to indi-
cate a much more active season in 1010 than was the case twelve months
earlier. With the suspension of the S.A.T.C. courses, college athletics, includ-
ing Base Ball, promise to resume, to some extent, their former position in
the university routine. Schedules are being prepared, coaches engaged, and
in several cases indoor practice is already under way. Many students who
Iropped their studies to enter army or navy service are returning, including
i number who had won 'varsity letters in Base Ball during their sophomore
md junior years. They will form the nucleus of strong combinations expected
ffi mady colleges this spring. It is doubtful if the 1919 schedule will be quite
is lengthy as in the past, but far more games are assured than were played
in 1918. Few of the Eastern colleges will make the Southern trips so popular
; li few years ago, due to the high railroad fares and the amount of scholastic
jvork which must be completed during the next few months. In other
|:espects the coming season will approach those of pre-iwar days.

Introduction
It was fit after the world war ceased with the signing of the
armistice, even if the treaty of peace between nations lagged
among the peoples involved, that the national game of the United
States should return to some measure of its own popularity. It
was still more fit that one important new record should be made,
a record to which attention has been called elsewhere in this
number, and to which attention is again called to emphasize its
value from an historic standpoint. The editor refers to the break-
ing of the record for home runs, which is an achievement that is
truly surprising when one takes into consideration the growing
efficiency of the pitchers in recent years and that the original
record held from 1883 to 1899 and from 1899 to 1919.
It was not a record breaking season in all respects, notwith-
standing numerous assertions to that effect. Enthusiasm returned
most unmistakably, but it returned mostly in localities where there
was the greatest success so far as professional Base Ball is con-
cerned. It is better that the truth prevail rather than have prevail
an unwarranted belief of abnormal increase of interest leading to
a false basis of comparison. However, passing aside the question
of professional Base Ball, there is no doubt as to the revival of
amateur Base Ball. Every hamlet, village and town, which in the
past had possessed a Base Ball team among the boys, organized
another in 1919. Every railroad train which traversed the United
States passed innumerable ball games going on in late afternoon
hours, and ball games so numerous they could not be counted,
except by pad and pencil, being played on holidays and Saturdays.
That was a revival of Base Ball at its very source and a sight to
gladden the hearts of those who love Base Ball for itself as greatest
of all games.
In this edition of the Record further condensation of facts has
been put into effect. Year to year it is the purpose to present the
greatest amount of information within the smallest space. The
salient points of Base Ball are enscribed on the pages of this
volume in such manner that it is not necessary to scan other
volumes embracing almost a half century to ascertain an essential
fact for the information of the seeker after knowledge.
The "Red Book of Base Ball," as the Record has come to be
known, is the information mine of the national game. No one can
prospect in it without finding "pay dirt," and for the season of
1920 it bears a willing guiding hand to those who refer to its
pages for the "figure story" of the past.
In closing, the editor cannot but call attention to the prophetic
words of the Record after the season of 1918. Those who had
been foremost in promoting Base Ball were down-hearted and
gloomy. The Record preached the doctrine of good cheer and
optimism and the editor of the Record has lived to see the pre-
dictions fulfilled even fourfold.

The Spalding Base Ball Hall of Fame
NATIONAL LEAGUE.
Many changes were made in the Hall of Fame in 1919 for the
National League as compared with that of the season of 1918.
The player who gave Wheat, of Brooklyn his hardest race for batting
honors in 1918, won the batting championship of the National
League in 1919 beyond any question. He is Roush of Cincinnati.
For actual percentage in 1919, Bailey of Chicago is at the head of
the League with .389. He took part in only 21 games. Mitchel
of Brooklyn, who played in 34 games, is second with .367 ; Cravath
of Philadelphia, third, with 83 games and a percentage of .341,
and Thorpe of New York and Boston, fourth, in 62 games, with a
percentage of .327. Roush is next in order, with a percentage of
.321 in 133 games. He played in so many more games of the
legal number of innings than all those who stood above him that
it does not seem right to deprive him of the batting championship
of the League last season, especially when it is considered that he
made such a splendid fight for the lead in 1918.
Working on the basis of 50 games as a fair standard from which
to deduct championships, either in batting or fielding, Cravath
might be reckoned upon as a 1919 claimant with his percentage
of .341. Take into consideration, however, that very frequently
Cravath did not play a full game, acting only as a pinch hitter.
For a pinch hitter to bat as well as .341 is a fine achievement,
but if a pinch hitter were to have a remarkable run of luck, for
instance as Strang did when he made a safe hit in fourteen suc-
cessive games, it is easy to see how he could win a championship,
and yet it would hardly be fair to give it to him when another
player had taken part in 130 or more full inning games against all
kinds of pitchers. In. awarding the championship as batter no
arbitrary rule can be followed. That which might be perfectly
fair one year perhaps would not apply as well the year following
if conditions were dissimilar. Trying to take all conditions in
1919 into consideration, it is the opinion of the editor of the
Record that it is eminently fair to award the National League
batting championship to Roush of Cincinnati.
While discussing the question of the batting championship of the
National League, it is rather interesting to record the fact that
there were two more ".300" batters in 1919 than there were in
1918. In the year last completed, the total was sixteen, and in the
year preceding, the total was fourteen. Not much of a gain, but
something. There are more ".300" batters in the American League
than there are in the National. Either the National League pitchers
are more effective or the American League batters are superior.
Next to the leading batsman in 1919 should come George J.
Burns of the Giants, for a quadruple championship, so to speak.
It is certainly a pleasure to pay a tribute to a player so deserving
as Burns. From the moment that he began to play with the
Giants he has belonged to the type of those who try to do their
best. In some years he has been stronger in one element of the
playing end of the game than in another, but it remained for him
in 1919 to lead everybody in four things essential to Base Ball.
First of all, he made the most runs. It always has been said that
the "lead-off" man should make the most runs, but it does not
invariably follow that such a result materializes. No fair com-
parison can be made with what was done in other years, because
1, Edd J. Roush, Cincinnati, leading batsman. 2, G. C. Alexander, Chicago, leading
pitcher, lowest average of earned runs. 3, William L. Killefer, Chicago, lead-
ing catcher. 4, George J. Burns, New York, leading outfielder, best run scorer
and most stolen bases. 5, Ivan M. Olson, Brooklyn, leader in single base hits
and most hits. 6, Ross Young, New York, leader in two-base hits. 7, C. C.
Cravath, Philadelphia, leading home run hitter. 8, Harry H. Myers, Brooklyn,
and, 9, William H. Southworth, Pittsburgh, tied for most three-base hits. 10,

Pittsburgh, leading second baseman. 12, Charles A. Deal, Chicago, leading

Daubert, Cincinnati, leader in sacrifice hits.
NATIONAL LEAGUE PLAYERS IN THE SPALDING BASE BALL
HALL OF FAME.
SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD. 19
the season of 1918 was shortened by necessity, and that of 1919
by choice. In addition to making the greatest number of runs,
Burns stole the most bases of any National League player. If
Carey of Pittsburgh had been able to play all of the season, Burns
might have had a harder fight on his hands — or in the speed of his
legs — as Carey and Burns had been rivals more or less in the past.
Carey, however, was out of the competition because of illness and
Burns drew away from all other rivals. Not only was the sure-
handed outfielder of the Giants leader in making runs and iu
stealing bases, but he received more bases on balls than any other
National League player in 1919. No one can get away from the
fact that it is a great combination when any ballplayer steals the
most bases, scores the most runs and beats the pitcher out of the
largest number of bases on balls. Each one of these is a positive
factor toward winning games, and when one ballplayer combines
all three in one season he is establishing a standard at which
possibly ballplayers of another generation will shoot in vain. To
add still more to the lustre of Burns, he was the leading out-
fielder in the National League in 1919. Take into consideration
the fact that he played a sunfield a great deal of the time and it
is not out of place to say that he was the best outfielder. All of
his home games were on a sunfield and some of the games away
from home as well. It was not the first year that he had played
a sunfield, but a culmination of years in the sun, and that but
adds to his greatness as a ballplayer and to the fine type of per-
sistent effort on his part. He is one of the men in Base Ball who
never relaxes his zeal to do his best and stands among the fore-
most of America's players.
Reverting to the batting problem. There is a general displace-
ment of the faces that embellished the Hall of Fame in 1918.
Olson of Brooklyn has supplanted Hollocher of Chicago as the
batter with the greatest number of hits and the greatest number
of single base hits. That is an example of the veteran overtaking
the youngster. It is true that Hollocher was thrown out of the
running in 1919 because of illness and injury, but on the part of
Olson it is equally true that merit came into its own, as he always
has been effective in wielding the bat. He is a free hitter and a
dangerous hitter.
Daubert retains a place in the Hall of Fame, although not in
the same position as he held in 1918. That year he led in three-
base hits. In 1919 he was the best sacrifice batter in the league.
He made thirty-nine sacrifice hits, but the short schedule of 140
games again renders it difficult to institute comparisons. The
player who made the most two-base hits in 1919 was Ross Young,
the sturdy boy of Texas, who, in his second season in major league
company, surpassed all his older rivals. Groh led in 1918. There
is one specially good physical reason why Young is successful in
making two-base hits. His speed from home plate to first base is
above the average and his turn at first fairly short. Combined
with these is ability to slide well into second. His total of two-
baggers for the year was 31. Myers of Brooklyn and Southworth
of Pittsburgh tied for the total of three-base hits, with 14 each,
displacing Daubert. who led the year before.
Cravath made twelve home runs, leading in 1919 as he did in
1918, and so long as those brawny arms of his can wield the bat
effectively and "plant the ball" toward right field in Philadelphia,
he may keep all batters guessing. The probabilities are, however,
that he will be so busy managing his team in 1920 that fewer
opportunities will be afforded for him to make some pitcher's heart
sicken when he thumps the ball, and another aspirant for batting
home runs may find his most to be feared rival out of the way.
20 SPALDING'S OFFICIAL. BASE BALL RECORD.
The batters and the runners being out of the way, the question
of the leading pitcher comes next. Alexander of Chicago deserves
such recognition. So far as the merits of actual pitching are con-
cerned, there is no basis as good as that of the earned run basis.
The editor of the Record fought many years to have it established
and found support and encouragement from President Heydler.
The earned run standard tells the actual work of the pitcher. In
other words, the pitchers with the best earned run records very
likely would be the leaders in winning if they received faultless
support. With indifferent support they are usually toward the
top as pitchers, showing their value on the pitcher's plate. Jesse
Barnes of New York won 25 games, the greatest number won by
any pitcher, and Reuther of Cincinnati won the greatest percent-
age of the games in which he was a participant. Analyzing results
and looking over the field of pitchers with careful thought as to
what figures show as against individual impressions, no one can
help but be impressed by the outcome of the National League race
of 1919. Alexander, Jesse Barnes and Reuther stand at the top
in public esteem as to their ability, and their records justify the
admiration which is held for them.
Last year Killefer of the Chicago club was the best National
League catcher. He simply led. That told all there was to tell.
In 1919 that is all that is left to tell again. He leads. No matter
how good catchers may have appeared to be on other teams,
Killefer was a little better than any of them. Watch his work
and you get the story. There is none other like him. He knows
batters, knows Base Ball and is possessed of mechanical ability of
a superior type. Cady of Philadelphia was second in the race, bur
he played in only 29 games as against 100 for Killefer. Snyder
of St. Louis and New York is second in rank, tied in percentago
with Rariden, but catching 79 games against 70 for Rariden.
Konetchy has repeated. He led the first basemen in 1918 and ht
is back as a leader of the first basemen in 1919. He played in
more games than any other first baseman and really surprised all
by the display of his skill. The leading second baseman in 1919
is Cutshaw, and the leading shortstop is Terry. Both played with
Pittsburgh. Therein lies part of the story of Pittsburgh's success,
for with two good players around the "keystone," a great deal of
assistance reverted to the team when other players were less help
ful because injured. Deal of Chicago displaced Groh as the leading
third baseman, although it is but fair to state regarding both
players that Groh's broken finger compelled him to drop out of
service when it was most vital to him and most vital to his club.
Summarizing the placements of the Hall of Fame of 1919, as
compared with that of 1918, a varied change is evident. It is true
that some faces are retained, but equally true that they are hanging
in other frames than they did in 1918.
AMERICAN LEAGUE.
Something big and new was done in Base Ball in 1919. It was
the greatest achievement of any individual ball player in a genera-
tion. It placed George H. Ruth, known to the "boys" as "Babe"
Ruth, at the head of the Base Ball parade directly behind the
band. It scored for the American League a point not to be denied,
but more than that it demonstrated that we have not yet come
to the point in Base Ball where we can say "there is nothing
bigger that can be done."
Ruth made twenty-nine home runs in 1919. That is a record
with a vengeance. It is a regular mastodon of a record. It sur-
passes all the feats of the present generation of ball players and
SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD. 21
is superior to all the great performances of the ball players of
the past. When it began to look as if Ruth might lead the re-
mainder of humanity in home runs — referring, of course, to that
portion of humanity which browses on the pastures of organized
Base Ball — everybody began to make research into the Record to
ascertain what it had to say about home run "swatters." The
latter word may not be very elegant, but it is lucidly descriptive
of the execution of a home run by the medium of a Base Ball bat.
It was found that Freeman, also of American League and Na-
tional League fame, in 1S99, when playing with the Washington
club, had made 25 home runs in one season. Then someone in-
sisted that these home runs were made on diamonds with a short
outfield. That is not accurate. There were no more short fields
to the square inch in major league Base Ball in 1899 than there
are now. It was further learned that in 1883 Ed Williamson of
the Chicago club had made 27 home runs and everyone who
wasn't born in 1883 — pretty much everyone at least — declared
that it could not have happened. It did happen, according to the
best information procurable on the subject. Williamson was a
very powerful batter and in addition to that was a very fast
runner for a man of his weight. Once in motion it was not an
easy task to overtake him and on a long hit he could outspeed
the fielder. There are some persons who believe that Williamson
was perhaps the best of all ball players. Personal selection as to
the best of all ball players is a matter of personal belief most of
the time, whether records are to the contrary or not. In any
event if Ruth is good enough to break any batting record which
had been made by Williamson he must be a ball player of the
quality which has not been brought to light except at rare inter-
vals for the last twenty years — and then a little better. He richly
deserves all the praise which he has received since he has sur-
passed his own contemporaries and all who had preceded him
since nearly the beginning of the '80's.
By the records Ruth proved to have been the best outfielder of
the American League, which is not wholly a surprise, as in spring
practice he thoroughly demonstrated that he could be an outfielder,
and a player with batting ability like his, is better in the out-
field than on the pitcher's plate, even if he is a pitcher who is
better than the average. Willing to pitch and alternate pitching
with work in the outfield, he would make the shades of "Dave"
Foutz and "Bobby' Carruthers appear dim.
There remains still a third feather to his bunch of plumes for
the season which is past. He scored more runs than any other
player of the American League. Why not? He handicapped all
the remainder of the American League by 29, which he batted
himself. If 100 runs were the personal total of any player for a
season and he could bat 29 of them himself, it is evident that
about three-tenths of the work of scoring runs would be borne on
his own shoulders, and if the other batters of his organization
could not help him seven-tenths more they would be a weak lot.
Cobb led the league in batting. That has become a regular
story in the American League, but as fine as it is to lead a league
in batting, and as much as Cobb deserves commendation for what
he did and for what he has repeatedly done in the past, his batting
achievement was shaded a bit in 1919 by the resplendent glory
of the young man who represents Boston in the American League
firmament. Cobb was tied with Veach of Detroit for making the
largest number of hits and he made more single base hits than
Veach, but the latter excelled him in total bases on hits made.
Ruth, with his 29 home runs, had 156 bases with which to begin,
and if there were any crown for the total-base hitter Ruth would
1, Tyrus R. Cobb, Detroit, leading batsman, most single base hits and tied with
Veach for greatest number of hits. 2, George H. Ruth, New York (with Bos-
ton, 1919), leading outfielder, best run scorer and most home runs. 3, Walter

wear it, and very likely wear it for some time to come unless he
makes 30 home runs during 1920. Cobb, it will be observed, has
plenty of points for 1919, but Ruth is decorated with more of the
glitter of the gold paint brush. Ruth and Cobb, combined with
Veach of the Detroit team, who led the league in making three-
baggers and two-baggers, certainly would be quite a trio if they
happened to be fastened in one Base Ball combination for the
season to come. Every pitcher who faced them would wear armor
and take a heart simulant before the game began.
Ray Chapman of Cleveland made more runs than any other
player in 1918, and in 1919 he varied that performance by making
more sacrifice hits than any other player, because Ruth beat him
on runs with those 29 home runs for a nest egg. That "29"
appears almost like a charmed number — it seems such a stupendous
task either to equal or to surpass. The largest number of stolen
bases went to the credit of Eddie Collins of the Chicago American
League team. It was an uncommonly poor base stealing season in
the American League. Why such should be the case is mystifying.
Maybe the batting was so powerful that base stealing was unneces-
sary. Perhaps the pitchers were being watched more closely for
balks, and it is also possible that the catchers were working at
higher speed than previously had been the case. No matter what
it was, Collins led with 38 stolen bases, and in other years it has
not been uncommon for the stolen base record to be almost fifty
per cent higher.
Walter Johnson was the best pitcher of the league based on
the now generally accepted earned run average. It need surprise
no one that such is the case, for Walter Johnson, whether he is
with Washington in a winning year or in a losing year, has been
a pitcher of worth far above what even figures show. It is not
much out of the way to say that he ranks quite at the top of the
American League, all years of his service being taken into con-
sideration.
There may be some astonishment to ascertain that Hannah leads
the catchers of the American League, but he is certainly the right-
ful holder of the Hall of Fame distinction for 1919, as the figures
prove. that he worked well in a sufficiently large number of games
to make him rank well.
The infield is a "repeater." Quite an endorsement that for the
infield and also for the Hall of Fame in the Record. When two
years in succession the same men can lead three of the infield
positions it certainly shows continued good work. Gandil is the
leading first baseman, as he was in 1918. Gedeon of St. Louis
again beat out Eddie Collins, as he did in 1918, and Scott of
Boston is the acknowledged leader at short. Scott is also a re-
markable ball player, as will be observed the more closely the
work of the player is followed.
There is a change at third base. Frank Baker of the New York
American League team, who was in front in 1918, did not keep
up the pace in 1919 and the records show that Vitt, who had
been transferred from Detroit to Boston, finished ahead in the
circuit. Gandil, Gedeon, Scott and Vitt would constitute quite a
quartette of fielders for any batter to face. They are sterling
men at the game, for it is not an easy task to repeat in fielding.
One scrawny little error may change all the luck of the year in
the last week of play. It is true that one base hit might have
the same effect upon the record of a batsman, but as a rule the
competition among the fielders runs closer among a greater num-
ber than it does among the batters.

Prior to the beginning of the world series of 1919 it was
agreed by a majority of the major league members that the
series should be extended to nine games, instead of seven,
and that the winning team must be victorious in five games
instead of four, as had been the case since the series was
inaugurated under the John T. Brush rules. A reason advanced *
for the extension of the series was presumable inability of
Base Ball enthusiasts to see all they wished of world series
in previous years, added to the fact that the Ohio Valley never
had a previous event of the kind. Whether this was clearly
established by the extension of the series in 1919 is debatable.
It certainly was debated, as there are those who believe that
the public would have been as grateful for seven games as
for nine.
Cincinnati won the series. As a climax it was most fitting
to the most unusual season that the Cincinnati club had expe-
rienced in a half century. It was necessary to play eight
games, none a tie, Cincinnati being victorious in the essential
five.
With four victories and one defeat in the first five the Cin-
cinnati club was balked twice by Chicago which fought against
all handicap. The game next succeeding was played in Chicago
and lost by the American League champions, who were not so
successful on their own field as they had been against New
York in 1917. In that year they rallied, after apparent defeat,
and saved the championship for themselves by that rally, ulti-
mately winning the decisive, game on the Polo Grounds in New
York City.
There is very little question that the playing ability of the Chi-
cago team was overestimated in 1919. The personnel was not
changed materially from that which had played against the Giants
in 1917 and New York lost the championship that year as much
by dumb and imperfect playing as by any marked difference in the
physical ability of the contesting players. This fact seemed to
have beeu overlooked by those who sought to make comparison
and estimate of the playing strength of the Cincinnati and Chi-
cago teams in 1919 and the disappointment of over-confidence was
much in evidence when the series was completed.
The strength of National League clubs in 1919 was almost
always underestimated, as was the ability of National League
players individually. There was a tendency to overrate the play-
ing strength of the American League players. Perhaps it' was due
to the fact that the closing five weeks of the American League
season was tighter fought than those of the National League. That
finish should have taught a lesson — at least should have served as
26 SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD.
a warning to those who were blandly sanguine that the Chicago
team could not be beaten — for the pitching strength of Chicago
was known to be in need of reinforcement before the American
League season was completed. Another fact which was overlooked
was that the New York National League players in 1917 did not
have desperate difficulty in hitting Cicotte. He was winner of the
first game which he pitched, but the luck of Base Ball was with
Chicago in that game, as had it not been for his very excellent
support and the drifting fly ball batted by Felsch which floated
over the head of Burns into the left field bleachers, it is very
probable that Chicago would have been beaten that afternoon,
instead of beginning the series with a victory. It is not out of
place to call attention to these facts, because in some quarters the
defeat of the American League has been subject to criticism, which
does not seem to be warranted.
Naturally the attendance at the 1919 series was greater than
that of other series. More games were to have been played, which
would account for some of the increase, and in addition to that,
the interest in the series was unbounded. Cincinnati's victory in
the National League championship fight unquestionably had much
to do with the increase in interest, as all the Middle States had
been aroused in a Base Ball way from one border to another. It
was the first eight game "regular series" that had been played. In
1912 the New York Nationals and Boston Americans played eight
games, but this was the result of a tie game during the series and
not due to a schedule permitting eight games to be played in a
possible nine without a tie.
It perhaps is in order to state that the Cincinnati club had won
a championship between 1869 and 1919. So often was this asser-
tion made that it had not' seemed to be accepted as fact. In 1882
Cincinnati won the championship of the American Association and
for some years thereafter was one of the leading clubs of the
American Association. It did not win the championship with its
team again in that association, but in at least two seasons finished
second in the race, and in other seasons made a most excellent
record.
In the regular edition of the Spalding Official Base Ball Guide
for 1920 the world series will be given more in detail. In this
issue of the Record attention will be directed only as to the
scoring of the runs in each contest.
FIRST GAME— AT CINCINNATI, OCTOBER 1.
Ruether was chosen by Manager Moran to pitch against Cicotte.
It was Ruether's first game in a world series. Chicago started
against him well, but excellent support on the part of his own
team pulled him through and gave him confidence in himself,
which increased as the game progressed. The first batter in the
contest, John Collins, made a base hit, but was forced out on an
attempted sacrifice by E. Collins. The latter failed to steal sec-
ond a fid Rcush ended the inning by a fine one-hand catch of
Weaver's fly. It was the beginning of a succession of fielding
plays on the part of Roush that unquestionably had everything to
do with the ultimate success of the Cincinnati club.
Cicotte hit Rath with a pitched ball. Daubert singled between
short and second, Rath going to third. Groh's sacrifice fly to left
field gave Rath a chance to score. Daubert tried to steal second
ana was out. Rousn was given a base on balls. Roush was more
fortunate than the runner previously trying to steal and was safe,
Schalk's throw being wide. Duncan was out at first.
Chicago tied the score in the second inning. Jackson was safe
on Kopf's throw over Daubert's head. Jackson ran to second.
Felsch sacrificed, Ruether to Daubert, Jackson going to third.
Gandll raised a Texas leaguer back of short and Jackson scored.
SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD. 27
Gandil was out stealing, Risberg received a base on balls and
Sehalk flied to Roush.
In the fourth inning Cincinnati scored five runs. Roush batted
to deep left center, but Felsch caught the ball. Duncan singled to
right center. Kopf hit hard, but Cicotte got the ball and threw
Duncan out at second. Risberg was not quick enough to make it a.
double play. Neale batted a short fly safely over short. Wingo hit
the first ball to right field for a long single, Kopf beating the throw
to the plate. Neale went to third and Wingo to second. Ruether
batted into the crowd in left center for three bases, scoring Neale
and Wingo. Rath singled over Weaver's head and Ruether scored.
Daubert batted a single to right and Rath scored. Cicotte was
taken out and Wilkinson sent in. Groh flied to Felsch.
In the seventh inning Daubert batted into the crowd in right
field for three bases. Groh hit to Wilkinson, the ball bounding
from his hand beyond Risberg. Daubert scored. Roush bunted
and was safe on a poor throw to first, Groh going to third. Dun-
can batted to Risberg, who threw out Roush at second, Groh scor-
ing before E. Collins could get the ball to the plate. Kopf batted
into a double play.
In the eighth inning Lowdermilk faced Cincinnati instead of
Wilkinson. Neale singled to left field. Wingo sacrificed, Lowder-
milk to Gandil. Again Ruether batted the ball for three bases,
this time to the center field fence, and Neale scored the last run
which was made in the game. Risberg threw Rath out, Daubert
was hit by a pitched ball, Groh was given a base on balls and
was forced out by Roush, E. Collins to Risberg. In the ninth
inning, Chicago at bat, Roush again made one of the outfield
catches which made his performance shine so brightly throughout
the series. The score of the game is as follows :

SECOND GAME— AT CINCINNATI, OCTOBER 2.
The pitchers in the second game were the veteran Sallee, for
Cincinnati, against Williams. Both are left-hand pitchers. It
was the first chance that Sallee had to meet his Chicago antago-
nists since the world series of 1917, when he was not fortunate
against them, due to some ill luck and much bad support.
He pitched a game in many respects a counterpart of that which
he pitched in the second contest in which he took part with the
Giants in 1917. He was hit freely, but not so freely with men
on bases. High-class support made it possible for him to retain
his lead throughout. Williams pitched no better than he did
against New York in 1917. He had little opportunity in that
series, but was batted hard when he did have opportunity.
A double play helped Sallee out in the first half of the first
inning. In the second half Jackson started with a double back
of shortstop, but no run was scored. In the first half of the
fourth the opportunity of the Chicago team was even more hope-
ful, as the first two batters were on second and third with one
hand out on a sacrifice, but Gandil batted to Daubert, who threw
Weaver out at the plate, and after Gandil had stolen second
Risberg flied to Daubert.
In the second half of the fourth inning Rath was given a base
on balls. Daubert sacrificed, Williams to Gandil. Groh was given
a base on balls. Roush rapped a line single to center and Rath
scored. Roush was out stealing second, Chicago refusing to bite
at the delay in the play to give Groh a chance to score. Duncan
was given a base on balls and Kopf batted a hard triple to center,
Groh and Duncan scoring. Neale was thrown out by Eddie Collins.
In the sixth Roush killed Chicago's chance to score by making
another of the long running catches which did so much to steady
the Cincinnati pitchers. He managed to hold the ball while mov-
ing at top speed and if it had cleared him Chicago not only would
have scored but would have been dangerous.
In the last half of the sixth Roush was given a base on balls.
Duncan sacrificed and Kopf fouled to Weaver. Neale batted a
line drive to left field for a base, scoring Roush. Neale was
out trying to steal second.
In the seventh Gandil batted to Daubert and was out, Daubert
to Sallee. Risberg hit into left field for a base. Schalk batted
the ball down the right field foul line for two bases and on
Neale's inaccurate throw home, as well as by poor backing up by
the Cincinnati infielders, the ball rolled to foul territory off of
third base and both Gandil and Schalk scored. Williams struck
out and John Collins flied to Roush.
No further runs were made during the game, Gandil beginning
the ninth with a single for Chicago but being unable to score,
as a fast double play followed. The score of the second game is
as follows :

THIRD GAME— AT CHICAGO, OCTOBER 3.
Defeat was encountered by Cincinnati in the third game of the
series, played on the grounds of the Chicago club, mostly for the
reason that the National League champions' were pitched "to a
standstill" by Kerr, a diminutive left-hander who had shown form
during the race for the American League championship. Man-
ager Moran of the Cincinnati club used Fisher against Chicago.
Fisher was accustomed to the ground, having played there when
a member of the New York American League team, and in addition
to that he had been considered as a good winner against Chicago
when he was with the American League. He did not win, a)
though he was not batted extremely hard, and one of the reasons
why he failed to win was that he did not field his position accu-
rately. Had he done so there would have been a little more
chance for Cincinnati, although a team which cannot make a run
cannot hope to climb in a championship race or triumph in a
two-club series.
Chicago scored first in the second inning. Jackson began with
a single to left. Felsch was "up to bunt." He did so and with
an easy play at second base Fisher threw the ball over Kopf's
head, Jackson going to third — despite the fact that he fell at
second — and Felsch to second. On the first ball pitched Gandil,
a pronounced right field hitter, rapped the ball between Daubert
and Rath, scoring both Jackson and Felsch. Gandil went to sec-
ond. Risberg was hit by a pitched ball. Schalk bunted and
Gandil, too slow in getting over to third, was thrown out by
Fisher. Kerr hit to Fisher and Risberg was thrown out at third.
Leibold hit to Groh, who threw the batter out at first.
In the fourth inning Groh threw Gandil out at first. Risberg
hit the ball to right field, where it raced beyond Neale, and the
batter was safe at third before it was retrieved. Schalk bunted
the ball to Fisher and again the Cincinnati pitcher failed to get
the ball accurately and Risberg ran home with the last run of
the third game. Schalk was out stealing second and Kerr batted
to KDpf, who threw him out.
Cincinnati never was harmful during the remainder of the
game. There was too much verbal comment from the Cincinnati
bench, which did not please the spectators, nor did it add to the
high standard which should prevail at any world series. Those
who attend the games of the world series do so to witness high-
class Base Ball and not to be annoyed by the opinion of some
bench warmer as regards the quality of Base Ball which is being
played by those actively in the game. The score of the third
game is as follows :

FOURTH GAME— AT CHICAGO, OCTOBER 5.
For the fourth game Manager Moran chose to use Ring, a right-
hand pitcher who had been unfortunate in losing many 1 to 0
games, and others of small score, and almost equally close,
throughout the season. It proved to be a good selection. It
was a 2 to 0 game, but Cincinnati scored the two runs and
Chicago nothing. Only three hits were made by the Chicago
players, which is the easiest and most logical manner in which
to define why Cincinnati won, in view of the fact that Cincinnati
did make more hits — only two, it is true, but timely — and through
the medium of the more hits made the two runs which settled
the game for the National League champions.
Cicotte pitched again for Chicago, but he could not win. The
fates were against him. It was a better pitched game than the
first in which he took part at Cincinnati, but no matter how
well it was pitched, or might have been pitched, there was no
chance for him to expect victory when his team mates could not
hit the ball well enough to make even a solitary run.
Both teams had runners on bases prior to the fifth inning when
Cincinnati scored twice. In the second, for instance, Jackson
began With a two-bagger. He had been a good leadoff man after
the first inning in other instances. The Chicago batters who fol-
lowed advanced him to third base, but there he was anchored.
Before the inning was over there were three runners on the bases
with two out and Cicotte at bat. He waited till the limit and
then rolled the ball to Rath and was thrown out at first.
In the fifth inning, with Roush out of the way, Duncan got to
second on Cicotte's wide throw. Kopf batted a single to left field
and Duncan was stopped at thir<L Jackson threw the ball in
and Cicotte was said to have deflected the ball with his hand so
that it bounded to one side and Duncan scored. Neale batted a
line hit over Jackson's head for two bases and Kopf ran home.
32 SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD.
Wingo was thrown out by E. Collins after he had rapped the ball
sharply across the field. Ring also was thrown out by E. Collins.
In the remaining innings of the game the Chicago batters hit
hard now snd then, and Ring always seemed to be a little
unsteady, but fortunately the Cincinnati fielders gave the pitcher
accurate support and the loose moments of Ring's work in the box
were followed by exceptionally good fielding, so that he went
through without a run being made against him, putting the
Cincinnatis one game nearer to the title of the world's champions.

FIFTH GAME— AT CHICAGO, OCTOBER 6.
The fifth game was to have been played on Sunday, October 5,
but the weather turned disagreeable for the first time in the
series and the rain was so severe that notwithstanding the infield
of the Chicago ground had been covered with canvas, it was impos-
sible to go on. The disappointment was most keenly felt by
thousands who had specially arranged to witness the contest
because it was to be played Sunday afternoon. It was generally
believed that the attendance would fall off appreciably because
of the postponement, but to the surprise of all the crowd on
Monday afternoon, the date on which the fifth game was played,
was one of the best of the series.
Eller pitched for Cincinnati. Chicago failed to make a run
against him. That tells the story, so far as Chicago's defeat is
concerned, tut It does not tell all the story of the pitching by
Eller. Chicago made but three base hits. In the second and
third innings Eller struck out six successive Chicago batsmen.
That was a feat which no pitcher had done before in a world
series — strike out six batters in succession. In the sixth inning
Eller threw but five balls to the batters. One of these was a ball,
another a foul, and a fly and two easy grounders disposed of the
other batters. Williams pitched for Chicago and lost again.
In the first' inning Chicago began with a base on balls to Leibold
and an out at first for E. Collins, who batted the ball to Kopf.
SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD. 33
Collins objected to the decision and while argument was going on
Leibold raced to second. Weaver hit the ball for a single and
Jackson followed at the bat. Moran thus early had sent a relief
pitcher to warm up for Cincinnati, fearing that Eller would
develop a period of wildness, as had been the case now and then
when he pitched throughout the National League season. Jackson
lifted a fly to Groh and Duncan caught Felsch's fly and the danger
was passed. The result of that inning without doubt put confi-
dence into the heart of Eller, for from then on he pitched with
skill that increased as the game waxed toward the finish.
In the second inning Eller struck out Gandil, Risberg and Schalk
in succession. In the third inning he struck out Williams, Lei-
bold and Eddie Collins in succession. Pitching of that quality
brought the Chicago enthusiasts to their feet and they cheered
the Cincinnati player heartily. In the fourth inning two batters
were out on ground chances and then Felsch struck out, so that
the Cincinnati pitcher had added another heavy batter to his
list of victims for the game.
In Cincinnati's half of the sixth inning Eller rapped the ball
between Jackson and Felsch for two bases. A poor return from
the outfield gave Eller another base. Rath singled between E. Col-
lins and Gandil, scoring Eller with the first run of the game.
Daubert sacrificed WTeaver to Gandil. Groh was given a base on
balls. Felsch played Roush's fly poorly, dropping the ball, but
it was scored as a three-bagger, both Rath and Groh crossing the
plate. Schalk undertook to attack Rigler, umpire at the plate,
because he called Groh safe, and was removed from the game,
Lynn taking his place. Smith of the Cincinnati club was sent to
the bench from the sideline for too much irrelevant conversation.
Duncan batted a sacrifice fly to Jackson and Roush scored. Kopf
flied to Felsch.
Murphy, of Chicago, was used as a pinch hitter in the eighth
inning, but he, too, was a victim to Eller's speed, and struck out.
In the first half of the ninth Mayer, formerly a National League
pitcher, took Williams' place as Chicago's pitcher. Eddie Collins
fumbled Roush's grounder. Duncan was given a base on balls.
Kopf sacrificed, Weaver to Gandil. Neale batted a slow grounder
toward short and Roush scored the last run of the game. Eddie
Collins threw Rariden out. With two hands out in the last half
of the ninth Weaver batted a long triple to right center, but
Jackson could do nothing with Eller and Kopf picked up his weak
grounder and threw the Chicago outfielder out at first base. The
score of the fifth game is as follows :

SIXTH GAME— AT CINCINNATI, OCTOBER 7.
When the series was resumed on the Cincinnati ground it found
the Cincinnati players, especially the younger element of the team,
perhaps too confident of their ability. There appeared to be an
impression that as they needed but one victory more it would
fall into their basket without unusual exertion on their part.
Over-confidence has been the bane of more than one team, with
an element in it not experienced in championship struggles, and
over-confidence crept into the work of the Cincinnati team in 1919.
Cincinnati began the game with a lead of four runs in four
innings and then not only saw the lead whittled down but finished
with Chicago in the lead and winner of the game. Ruether
pitched for Cincinnati and did poorly. It was an unpleasant
contrast to the work that he did in the first game. It marred
what otherwise would have been one of the great records in world
series contests.
In Cincinnati's half of the third inning Rath hit to Eddie
Collins and was thrown out at first base. Daubert clipped the
ball through the infield to right for a single. Kerr struck Groh
out. Daubert stole second, eluding Eddie Collins oy a good slide.
Roush was hit by a pitched ball and then Duncan batted a low
line drive to right for two bases, scoring Daubert and Roush.
These, by the way, were the first runs which had been made
against Kerr for twelve consecutive innings of the series. Felsch
had to make an extraordinary catch of a fong hard fly batted
by Kopf or there would have been more runs for Cincinnati in
this inning.
John Collins, in tb> second half of the fourth inning, tried to
cut across the field and stop Neale's grounder, but the ball was
too fast for him, and went into deep right for a triple. Rariden
was thrown out at first by Eddie Collins. Ruether batted the
ball to left for two bases, fair by a margin of inches, and Neale
scored. Rath rolled a grounder to Risberg. The Chicago short-
stop tried to nip Ruether on his way from second to third, but
when he threw the ball it hit Ruether in the middle of the back
and the Cincinnati pitcher went on to the plate with his run.
Rath raced to second and stole third. Daubert batted a short
fly to Jackson and Rath foolishly tried to score. He was thrown
out. It was a poor effort, as later proved, for it would have
been better for Rath to play the ball safely.
In the first half of the fifth inning Risberg and Schalk were
given bases on balls one after the other. Kerr filled the bases
with an infield hit and even then Ruether was permitted to remain
In the box. Risberg could have been caught after overrunning
third, but Groh was unmindful and did not catch the play, a
costly nap on his part. John Collins flied to Roush. Eddie Collins
batted a sacrifice fly to Roush and Risberg scored. Kerr tried to
reach second when Schalk was on the base and the inning was
over.
In the first half of the sixth Weaver batted a fly that fell
between Koof and Duncan, each thinking the other would make
SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL, RECORD. 35
the catch. Weaver went to second and scored when Jackson
batted the first ball pitched over first base for a single. Felsch
hit to left field for two bases. Jackson scored and Moran then
took Ruether out of the box. Ring took his place. Gandil flied
to Daubert. Schalk made a single through the infield and Felsch
scored the tieing run. Schalk stole second and Groh threw Kerr
out.
In Chicago's half of the eighth inning Roush made another of
the catches that did so much to save Cincinnati in the series
and prevented Chicago from scoring what might have proved to
be the winning run in that inning. The ninth went by without
either side scoring, and then came the tenth. Weaver's short fly
was out of Duncan's reach and bounded away from him when
the ball struck the ground. He had been coming in fast and the
hit was good for two bases for Weaver. Jackson bunted and was
safe at first', Rariden handling the ball slowly, Weaver going to
third. Felsch struck out. Gandil hit through the pitcher's box,
scoring Weaver, Jackson running to second. Risberg batted a line
hit to Kopf that resulted in a double play. One run was scored
in the inning and tbat run won for Chicago. The three Cincin-
nati batters went out in order in their half of the tenth. They
were Roush, Duncan and Kopf. The score of the sixth game is

SEVENTH GAME— AT CINCINNATI, OCTOBER 8.
When Chicago scored a run in the first inning against Cincin-
nati in the seventh game, with Sallee in the box, it was a foregone
conclusion that Cincinnati had a fight on. Cincinnati did not win,
because Chicago played better ball, and for the further reason that
Cicott'e, after pitching in two losing contests in the series, finally
managed to produce one of the games of that quality which he
had shown In the race for the American League championship.
36 SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD.
The Cincinnati players did not get many opportunities to beat
him, and when they did create opportunities, for the most part he
destroyed them.
In Chicago's half of the first inning John Collins singled to
center field. Eddie Collins sacrificed, Sallee to Daubert. Weaver
flied to Roush. J'ackson, ever fond of Sallee's delivery, hit the
ball to left field for a single and John Collins scored. Felsch
bunted safeiy and was forced out when Gandil batted to Kopf.
John Collins began the third inning with a single for Chicago.
Eddie Collins batted the ball to Kopf, who failed to get the ball
to second in time, and two men were safe. Weaver batted to
Kopf, who touched second, forcing Eddie Collins out. Kopf
claimed that Eddie Collins had interfered with the play and the
claim was allowed, Weaver being declared out by the umpire,
Rigler. Jackson again showed his liking for Sallee's delivery by
batting a single to left field and John Collins scored. Felsch
forced Jackson out
With the beginning of the fifth Sallee was more fortunate, in
that he managed to get John Collins out of the way, instead of
starting with a safe hit against him. Weaver batted to Groh,
who fumbled the ball and then threw poorly. Rath might have
had a chance for a double play if Jackson's grounder had not hit
him on the ankle and bounded into the outfield. This bit of
misfortune to Cincinnati filled the bases. Felsch hit the ball to
center field for a clean single, scoring Eddie Collins and Weaver,
and Sallee was taken out of the box. Fisher succeeded him and
he threw Gandil' out at first base. Risberg ended the inning by
striking out.
The Cincinnati enthusiasts took the scoring of the runs very hard
and all the vocal fireworks of the games which had preceded were
subdued completely.
In Cincinnati's half of the inning Kopf flied to Jackson. Neale
singled to left, the second hit of the game for Cincinnati. Wingo
was given a base on balls. Ruether went to bat in place of
Fisher, but did not prove to be a good pinch hitter. Cincinnati
scored its only run in the last half of the sixth inning. Daubert
was out when Groh batted the bail for two bases. Gandil threw
Roush out, to Cicotte. Groh went to third base on the out and
was the first Cincinnati batter to reach third base during the
afternoon. Duncan batted a single to center field and Groh scored.
Kopf forced Duncan, E. Collins to Risberg. The score of the game

EIGHTH GAME— AT CHICAGO, OCTOBER 9.
The most loosely played, and in some respects the least exciting,
game of the series was the eighth and decisive game, which was
played on the Chicago field. Tne Cincinnati team, after two
ineffectual trials to defeat Chicago on their own grounds, began
the eigtrcn game with some of the dash they had put into the
start of the race. Chicago had no pitchers to offset any positive
determined assault and the result was a victory for Cincinnati by
the largest margin of the series in a contest which lacked fire and
bordered on the humorous.
Williams began to pitch for Chicago and in the first inning the
bell had tolled for him as a further aspirant for world series
honors. Rath filed to Risberg. Daubert hit' to right field for a
base. Groh singled to right, Daubert running to second. Roush
batted a double along the baseline, sending Daubert home, while
Groh stopped at third. Duncan followed with another double.
This was down the left field line and Groh and Roush scored.
Williams was relieved and James went into the box. He gave
Kopf a base on balls. Neale struck out. Rariden batted a single
over Gandil's head and Duncan scored, Kopf going to third. Rari-
den stole second and Eller flied to Felsch. With a four run lead
in the first inning all Cincinnati needed for the remainder of the
game was to play safe.
In Cincinnati's half of the second inning Rath struck out. Daub-
ert rapped a line drive to Jackson. Groh beat out a slow grounder
to Gandil. Roush batted a double over Jackson's head, scoring
Groh. Roush was run down between second and third.
Chicago scored in the third inning. Eddie Collins flied to Dun-
can. Rath caught Weaver's fly after a long run. Jackson hit
the ball into the right field bleachers for a home run and Kopf
threw out Felsch.
In the first half of the fifth inning Eddie Collins caught Roush
at first by a fine play. Duncan batted a liner into Eddie Collins'
hands. Kopf tripled along the right field foul line and when
Neale batted a single out of Risberg's reach Kopf scored. Neale
stole second, but Risberg threw Rariden out.
Eller began the sixth inning for Cincinnati by a base hit past
the pitcher. Ratn" was given a base on balls. James had pitched
long enough for Chicago and Gleason took him out of the box,
putting Wilkinson in his place. Daubert bunted in front of the
plate and when Schalk threw high to Weaver Eller reached third.
Groh struck out. Roush batted to right, and the ball bounded
over Eddie Collins' head for a single, scoring Eller and Rath.
Daubert ran to third and Roush to second. Duncan hit safely to
center field and Daubert scored, Roush going to third. On Lei-
bold's poorly judged throw Duncan went to second. Kopf was
given a base on balls and Neale forced Roush at the plate by a
38 SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD.
grounder to Weaver. Kopf snoozed and was caught off second.
That added another three to the score of the Cincinnati club.
In the first Jialf of the eighth Roush was hit by a pitched ball.
Duncan sacrificed, Wilkinson to Gandil. Kopf fouled out to
Weaver. Neale was given a base on balls, Rariden singled to left
and Roush scored. Risberg threw Eller out at first.
In the second half of the inning Chicago made it's greatest rally
of the series in any one game except the seventh, which was
played at Cincinnati. Leibold fiied to Neale for the first out.
Eddie Collins batted a single to center. Weaver hit a line double
over Daubert's head, putting Eddie Collins on third. Jackson
doubled to right and Eddie Collins and Weaver scored. Felsch
filed to Daubert. Gandil hit a fly to right field, which Neale lost
in the sun, and it was good for three bases, Jackson scoring.
Risberg hit a fly to short center and Roush, coming in toward
the sun, lost the ball long enough to muff it. Gandil scored when
it was dropped. Rath threw Schalk out and the Cincinnati team
breathed easier. In the ninth Chicago started another rally,
nipped mostly for the reason that Roush finished his part of the
series by making another wonderfully good catch in center field,
a feat which had been a part of his share in the games from the
start. Two were left on bases when Jackson, the last batter in
the world series of 1919, rapped the ball to Rath and was thrown
out at second base. The score of the eighth game is as follows :

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECOBD.
Vernon-St. Paul Post-Season Series
By agreement between the American Association and the
Pacific Coast League a post-season series of games to decide
the minor league championship of the West was played at
Vernon, Cal. The principal defect in the series was that all
of the games were played in one city. The Pacific Coast League
triumphed, after nine games had been played, by winning five
out of the nine. The early success of the Vernon club made it
appear as if the series would not go to the limit of nine games,
but the players of the St. Paul team improved as the series
went further, and at the end of the fight for the so-called
championship, the rivalry between the players had reached the
stage where it might be called acute. The scores of the games
are as follows:

Unusual Games
Some extraordinary games were played both in the National
and American Leagues during the season of 1919 and the scores
of the more notably unusual are made a record in this year's
volume of the Record. They are as follows:
TWENTY-INNING TIE
Philadelphia and Brooklyn battled twenty innings to a nine-run
tie score, April 30. It was one of the most sensational Base Ball
contests ever played on the Philadelphia National League field.
Griffith's muff of Williams' fly in the locals' half of the nine-
teenth started their rally, after the game apparently had been
lost. Bancroft forced Williams, but Luderus and Whitted singled
and, after Baird tapped to Grimes, Meusel batted for Pearce and
walked. Cravath, pinch hitting for Cady, banged the ball against
the right field wall for two bases, but Meusel was run down at
third, as he hesitated there.

GEORGE H. ("BABE") RUTH,
New York A.L.
While a member of the Boston Red Sox in 1919, Ruth established a new batting
record of twenty-nine home runs for the season in regularly scheduled league
games.
SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD. 53
The Home Run Record Broken
King of the Realm of Swat,
Omnipotent in the Land of Slug ;
You surely set a mark
At which others will plug — and plug.
To beat that "29"
Will take some breadth of shoulder,
And when they put a "30" up ;
Well — we'll most likely be "some" older.
— John B. Foster.
Because he establishes a new record for making home runs in
major league Base Ball, George H. Ruth, on the diamond known as
"Babe," because he admits weighing somewhere around 200
pounds in his flannels, has heard himself considerably discussed.
Could less be expected? In the various times at bat in which
"Babe" performed, he knocked out 29 home runs. Those were
home runs of the real vintage — in regularly scheduled American
League games. On other occasions he batted home runs during the
season of 1919, but they were exhibition home runs. As home runs
they were every bit of the home run type and contributory to his
prowess as a batsman of the eighteen-carat quality, but they do
not go in the book. Among the home runs which were thus com-
mitted was one made in Tampa against the Giants, whereat "Babe"
lifted the ball to an undiscovered spot — even yet not on the Base
Ball map — somewhere between the race track proper within which
the game was played and the infinite of Tampa. It is within
possibility that the ball may have rolled into the streaming tide
of the Tampa River and having been caught in its current be now
floating around some coral isle of the Carribean Sea, or it may
also be possible that some Tampa "kid" has picked it up and
totally at a loss as to why such wonderful fortune befell him, has
long since batted it to shreds of yarn and leather. No matter
what may have become of the ball, it was one of the hits concern-
ing which men sit down and discuss, and it is a pity that because
of the radius of its direction, its flight beyond the imagination of
the most visionary, it cannot be seated with the mighty hits offi-
cially recognized, not with the hits of the mighty.
Incidental to the performance of the task of making 29 home
runs during the season of 1919, it is worth while to call attention
to the fact that Ruth made two in one afternoon against a young
man who was pitching for Philadelphia and who bore the name of
Johnson. Name of a sage in Base Ball! Had it been the real
Johnson, Walter Johnson, and had Ruth made two home runs
against him in one afternoon, Base Ball would have been over-
pome with vertigo and would have had to sit down and think it
over. It is also a matter of record and congratulation to Ruth
that he made a hit so far over a certain part of the roof of the
stadium of the Polo Grounds that the sages of Base Ball opine it
will be days and days ere that is done again. Great feats Ruth
did all of the year, for on August 24, at Detroit, here he is again
with two home runs in one day, one against Ayres and the second
against Love. On August 23 he made still another home run, and
on August 25 made it a lusty quartette of home runs by rapping
the fourth against Leonard. There is brawn and the eye of the
eagle for you, as four home runs in three days are the whirlwind
of batting. More than a whirlwind, a real tornado of slugging.
54 SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD.
Perhaps, and very likely, Ruth will not be so successful in 1920.
The pitchers will eye him with more than ordinary caution and
they will twist their fingers into knots to get more curve and
still more curve on the ball. They will give one another private
little tips. Even with all of this precaution, it is safe to say that
Ruth will be in the game batting them out. The young man who
has done this, where Ansons, Ewings, Broutherses and goodness
knows who else have failed, is built to rap 29 home runs. His
shoulders are massive. His neck is thick and corded with powerful
muscles. His arms are large in circumference and are all sinew
and "hit 'em out." His chest is deep when he wears his street
clothes and his legs are not overfreighted. That is another reason
why he makes home runs when he fails to lift the ball over the
fence. Any old hit over a fence is a home run by merely jogging
around the bases. When a ball player can combine speed with his
long hits sometimes he gets home runs out of them by his sprint-
ing in addition to his batting, in any event, Ruth batted "29"
home runs. Good for "Babe," and here follows a record, when and
where he made them, in order that when disputants chorus in the
future they may look upon the notation as it happened. Ruth's
record :
April 23 — At New York, Mogridge pitching.
May 20 — At St. Louis, Davenport pitching.
May 30 — At Philadelphia, Perry pitching.

Another Batting Feat
While Ruth and his burly physique were crashing their way into
attention during the season of 1919, and especially toward the
latter part of the season, another batting record was being made
in the Western League, out where the winds blow, by a former
major league player. Joe Wilhoit is his name and he first played
in the majors with the Boston National League team, being secured
from the Coast, and afterward with the New York National League
team, by which he was transferred to Rochester. This season he is
booked to play with the Boston American League team. He is a
good batter when he is in batting form. It is queer that some bat-
ters are able to maintain the pace of an eight-cylinder at high speed
for an interval of time, suddenly to lose their ability and be quite
ineffective for another interval of time. Wilhoit had been a little
like that. In 1919 he took passage on the limited, when it came to
batting, and he made the limited run top speed until the steam
gave out.
He started with the Seattle team, but did not remain in Seattle.
By and by he was found with Wichita, Kansas, in the Western
League. The Kansas country and the adjoining wheatfields and
cornfields agreed with him. The climate was to his liking and the
food was wholesome. He got his eye on the ball and in 69 consecu-
tive games he did not fail to make a hit. The best record prior to
that was held by Ness, who hit safely in 45 consecutive games in
1915. From that section of the United States where Wilhoit made
this record affirmation comes that it is a clean, sound, armor proof
record made on its merits. And very likely so, as when Wilhoit hits
the ball it is hit on its merits as well as its cover.
To make hits in 69 consecutive games Wilhoit was at bat 299
times and in that number of chances hit the ball safely 151 times.
His batting percentage in the period of the 151 games was .505.
He made five home runs, eight triples, 23 two-baggers and 115
single base hits.
For major or minor leagues he has set a mark for consecutive
safe-hitting which is very probable to be quite as unapproachable
as that of Ruth for home runs.

August Herrmann Resigns
When the contending Base Ball leagues and all the factions of
the leagues agreed to settle all differences after the season of 1902,
which had proved to be as unsatisfactory as its predecessor, a new
method of regulation of Base Ball was agreed upon, and at a meet-
ing held in Cincinnati, Ohio, September 21, 1903, the National Com-
mission of Base Ball was organized, The purpose of this commis-
sion was to act as the authority of last resort in the general settle-
ment of all disputes between Base Ball clubs and Base Ball leagues
involving players and territory. August Herrmann was elected
chairman of the National Commission and John E. Bruce was
elected secretary-ttreasurer. Mr. Herrmann continued in office with-
out interruption until at the annual meeting of the commission,
which was held in Cincinnati in 1920, he tendered his resignation,
to take effect not later than February 11, 1920. At the same time
Mr. Bruce announced that when Mr. Herrmann retired from office
he should decline to retain the office of secretary and treasurer of
the commission.
Mr. Herrmann's first election was brought about by votes which
were cast by Harry C. Pulliam, president of the National League,
and Byron Bancroft Johnson, president of the American League.
The new method of administration provided that the presidents of
the major leagues, as two members of the new commission, should
cast their votes for its chairman and that the chairman in connec-
tion with each major league president should constitute a commis-
sion of three which would pass upon disagreements and disputes
and generally regulate the affairs of the national sport.
In connection with this information concerning the original mem-
bership of the commission, it is not out of place to call attention
to the fact that President Johnson of the American League has
served uninterruptedly since 1903 and that August Herrmann has
also served as chairman since then without interruption.
There has been no change in the executive head of the American
League since 1903 and the head of that league is a member of the
commission under the plan of its organization. The National
League since 1903 has been represented by Thomas J. Lynch (1910-
1913), John K. Tener, ex-Governor of Pennsylvania (1913-1917),
and John A. Heydler, the present incumbent, who succeeded Gov-
ernor Tener.
As chairman of the National Commission, August Herrmann
ruled ably, with sound sense, and so impartially that he leaned
backward at least once and virtually ruled against his own club.
His mind is quick to grasp the salient points of every case which
is placed before him. His sincerity is unquestioned and his counsel
is appreciated by his associates. There arose situations in Base
Ball in which it was deemed best by the National League as a body
that the chairman of the commission should be one who had in no
manner a business connection with any club of either major league
circuit. Recognizing this to be the opinion of the associates of his
own league, Mr. Herrmann tendered his resignation as chairman in
the following statement to his fellow members of the commission :
"Supplemental to my annual report, which has been approved, I
desire now to notify you that I tender my resignation as chairman
of the National Commission, the same to take effect at as early a
period as possible, but with the distinct understanding that I can-
not serve you any longer after the joint meeting of the National
and American Leagues, which, it has been agreed to, should be held
in Chicago on February 11."

Annual Meetings
NATIONAL LEAGUE MEETING.
The annual meeting of the National League was held at the
Waldorf-Astoria in New York City, December 9 and 10, 1919. It
was decided to play 154 games during the season of 1920. Clubs
were given permission to train their players six weeks instead of
four. The opening day of the season was set for April 14. The
Board of Directors chosen for 1920 consisted of Barney Dreyfuss,
Pittsburgh ; William F. Baker, Philadelphia ; George W. Grant,
Boston, and C. A. Stoneham, New York.
The league adopted the amendment to the constitution offered by
President' Ebbets of Brooklyn, imposing a fine of $1,000 on any
official or member of any team, first offense, if convicted of tam-
pering with a player of another team. Expulsion from the league
was agreed upon for the second offense. The president of the
league reported a successful season.
In making recommendation as to future relations between the
major leagues and the minor leagues, President Heydler stated
that tne minors had appointed a committee of eight to meet the
major organizations. He further said that in his judgment, it
would not be advisable to enter upon such an agreement until
legal advice had been consulted as to the best method to overcome
the objections which had been sustained by* the verdict in the
Baltimore Federal League case as rendered by the court in
Washington.
The spitball again having come under consideration, it was
agreed that it would be made permissible for all pitchers now in
the major leagues to continue to use the objectionable form of
delivery, but that young pitchers would not be permitted to use it.
President' Heydler was appointed the sole member of the Schedule
Committee for the National League, eliminating club owners of the
league who might have served in the past. The president was
tendered a vote of thanks for a successful season.
AMERICAN LEAGUE MEETING.
The annual meeting of the American League was held at the
Hotel Biltmore in New York, December 10, 1919. The caM for the
meeting on the part of the president of the organization had been
made originally for Chicago, but owing to a continued disagree-
ment among the club owners all clubs decided to be represented at
New York, Chicago being abandoned as a meeting place in view of
the fact that the Board of Directors named New York. The
directors held a meeting prior to the league meeting. President
Johnson took the chair. Mr. Ruppert of the New York club moved
that Mr. Comiskey be made temporary chairman. Mr. Johnson
protested on the ground that he was ex-officio chairman. The
question was put to a vote and three directors voted for Mr.
Comiskey. President Johnson and Mr. Dunn of Cleveland, a
director, thereupon withdrew.
The other three directors, who constituted a majority of the
board, passed a resolution insisting that President Johnson turn
over to the board all the official papers of the league. They
accused the president of assuming duties which are not delegated
to him b^ the constitution of the league, and thev demanded that
he cease to use the league moneys for any purpose. They passed
SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD. 59
a resolution insisting on the appointment of an auditor to review
the president's financial accounts with the league. They referred
to the claim of President Johnson that he has a twenty-year con-
tract with the league to serve as its president, and demanded that
this contract, if any such document exists, be declared null and
void, as it is inconsistent with the constitution of the league.
The league proper began its session at noon. The meeting opened
with the presentation of President Johnson's financial report as
president and treasurer. Then followed the report of the Board of
Directors. President Frazee of the Boston club read the resolu-
tions which had been adopted at the morning meeting of the board.
When Mr. Frazee finished his reading of the directors' report it
was moved that the report be laid on the table until the next
session of the league. The Ruppert faction entered a protest and
demanded that the resolutions of the board be acted upon at once,
but they were voted down, five to three.
President Johnson then announced that the election of a vice-
president was in order. Mr. Ruppert demanded that there first be
an election for president. The president ruled this motion to be
out of order on the ground that he had been elected to the presi-
dency for a term of twenty years in 1910 and was still in office,
so that no election was required this year. The league proceeded
to the election of a vice-president. Charles A. Comiskey has held
this office ever since Charles Somers of Cleveland retired from the
league. Mr. Ruppert nominated Mr. Comiskey for re-election, and
the St. Louis club nominated Frank Navin, the Detroit owner.
The latter was elected. The vote for vice-president was five to two.
The league chose as directors for the ensuing year, Phil Ball,
St. Louis ; Frank J. Navin, Detroit ; Thomas Shibe, Philadelphia,
and Benjamin S. Minor, Washington. It was voted to play a
season of 154 games, but the opening date was not set.
INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE MEETING.
At the annual meeting of the International League, held in New
York. December 8, 1919, David L. Fultz was re-elected president,
secretary and treasurer, and his salary was increased for good
work done during the season of 1919.
The player limit was raised from sixteen to nineteen players,
including the player-manager. This is the largest player limit the
International League has had since the Federal League very nearly
wrecked the old International League in 1914. The International
personal salary limit was raised from $3,500 to $5,000. As the
season was lengthened from four and a half months to five full
months, it means a team playing limit of $25,000 a season. This
will permit the payment of the highest International salaries in
five years. It was voted to play a 15<±-game schedule in 1920, the
season to run from April 21 to September 20.
The league voted to shift the Newark franchise to Syracuse,
N. Y. Ernest Landgraf, owner of the Syracuse franchise, reported
that his team would play on a newly erected ball park. Frank W.
Doyle and Charles Skelly, the new owners of the Akron club, were
welcomed to the meeting. They announced that they had let out
contracts for the construction of an up-to-date steel and concrete
ball park in Akron.
The league voted to uphold the action taken by President Fultz
and the National Board ->f Arbitration in awarding the players of
last year's Binghamton club to Akron. McCaffrey of Toronto pro-
tested asrainst tBis action on the ground that he had signed out-
fielder J. J. Reilly ana shortstop Frank O'Rourke of the Bingham-
ton club after that club had granted all its players their uncon
ditional releases. In order to get out of this tangle, the Toronto
club was permitted to purchase the plavers from the Akron club.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION MEETING.
At the annual meeting of the American Association, which was
held in Chicago, January 15 and 16, Thomas J. Hickey was re-
elected president of the Association for a term of three years. His
administration of the affairs of the organization was splendidly
endorsed by this action of the clubs which comprise the American
Association circuit. It was decided by the members of the American
Association to play a schedule of games in 1920 containing 168
contests as against the customary schedule of 154 games. The St.
Paul club was suitably rewarded by the presentation of a trophy for
winning the 1919 championship.
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION.
The annual meeting of the National Association of Professional
Base Ball Leagues began at Springfield, Mass., November 12, 1919.
Business relations between the minor and major Base Ball leagues,
which were strained with the abrogation of the National Agree-
ment, were announced as ready to be resumed.
According to Secretary John H. FarreLTs report, the minors
decided it is best to work in harmony with the major leagues.
He made no announcement, however, as to the methods to be
followed in bringing the subject before the American and National
League representatives.
A general revision of the salary limits in the minor leagues
was made. The Class AA clubs were given permission to increase
their monthly limit to $3,500, an increase of $1,000, while other
leagues were granted proportional increases.
Decisions reached by the National Board of Arbitration were
announced. Of chief interest among these was the one affecting
the Binghamton (N. Y.) team of the International League. The
Board ruled that the sale of the Binghamton club to interests in
Akron, Ohio, carried with it the players who had not been sold
to major league clubs.
President Arthur Clements of the Saginaw (Mich.) club of the
Michigan-Ontario League was awarded $750 for players Lipps,
Pike and E. Schwartje from the Dallas (Tex.) club. The claim
of the Columbus club of the American Association against New
Orleans of the Southern Association, for $1,000 for pitcher Walker,
was allowed.
The request of Class A clubs for one more representative on
the National Board of Arbitration was granted by the elevation
of President Daniel O'Neil of the Eastern League, from Class B
to Class A, the rating which the Eastern League now has.
The Board now consists of three Class A representatives instead
of two, three Class AA and one Class B member, A. R. Tearney
of the Western League being chosen to the latter office. J. Cal
Ewing of Oakland, Cal., was elected vice-president of the National
Association, to succeed A. T. Baum of San Francisco, retired. Mr.
Ewing was also named a Class AA representative on the Arbitra-
tion Board to succeed Mr. Baum.
The meeting selected Kansas City, Mo., as the place in which to
hold the 1920 convention. There was keen competition for the
honor of entertaining the next convention, but the Missouri city
was selected because of its central location.
Much satisfaction was felt over the decision to renew relations
with the major leagues. The smaller minor leagues had expected
more opposition from the Class AA leagues on this score, but
with few exceptions the delegates of leagues of all classifications
believed that it was for the best interests of the game to work in
better harmony with the majors.
SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD. 61
It is realized that the minors from Class AA down will again
be obliged to submit to the draft, and that optional agreements
again will have to be entered into. But with few exceptions the
minors welcome a return of the draft, optional agreements and all
the old working relations.
J. Cal Ewing of Oakland, Cal., chairman of the minor league
committee to restore relations with the major leagues, conferred
"informally" in New York City with August Herrmann, chairman
of the National Commission, and John A. Heydler, president of the
National League.
Heydler maintained that Ewing's committee should hold a meet-
ing and decide on '"some tentative programme for submission to
the major leagues." Both Herrmann and Heydler expressed satis-
faction over the act? on taken by the minor leagues at their annual
meeting in Springfield, Mass., and believe it will lead to the
"former harmonious relations between the majors and minors."
Ewing favors representation for the minors on the National
Commission in future relations between the majors and minors.
He said the committee of which he is head is composed of D. L.
Fultz, New International League; Thomas Hickey, American Asso-
ciation ; John D. Martin, Southern Association ; A. R. Tearney,
III League; J. W. Morse, Texas League; John Hanlon, Western
League, and John H. Farrell, secretary of the National Asso-
ciation. .
NATIONAL COMMISSION SPECIAL MEETING.
During the summer the National Commission met at Chicago.
At that meeting it was recommended that the privileges of the
draft be suspended for 1919 because of the "uncertainty now
existing" between the major and minor leagues of the country.
The Commission ruled, however, that the major league clubs be
permitted to continue the purchase of players if suitable arrange-
ments could be made with the minor league clubs.
A. R. Tearney of Chicago, president of the III and Western
leagues, who led the fight against the practice of the major
leagues drafting minor league talent, was elated over the action
of the Commission. He was chairman of the committee which
effected a break in relations with the major leagues and the sub-
sequent abrogation of the National Agreement.
"The action means that the minor leagues will be able to build
fences for themselves instead of for the major leagues," Tearney
said. "It means also that the minor organizations will have con-
trol over their own property, and that the action will encourage
those interested in minor leagues financially to support the game,
which, as everyone knows, has been a losing venture.
"Some minor league clubs have been able to survive only
through the sale of star players. There have been more players
sold from the minors this fall thai in any previous year."
At a special meeting of the National League held later in New
York the action of the National Commission was not concurred
in. The National League went on record as follows:
First. The National League does not concur in the recom-
mendation made by the National Commission that the present
National Agreement be temporarily abrogated.
Second. We concur in the recommendation of the National
Commission that the National League refrain from drafting minor
league players during the year 1919.
Third. We do not concur in the recommendation of the Com-
mission that the territorial rights of the clubs of the old Inter-
national League be not respected in the future unless its indebt-
edness to the National Commission be paid on or before thirty
days after September 2. 1919.

National Association Player
Reservation List
Fourteen league organizations of the National Association of
Professional Base Ball Leagues are represented in the player reser-
vation list issued by Secretary John H. Farrell, including the New
England League, which disbanded in mid-season. Right of reserva-
tion officially expired on October 1. but the usual three weeks of
grace were allowed.
Regulations agreed to by the National Association provide that no
club in any classification shall claim by reservation more than
twenty-one players (exclusive of suspended players), but it is noted
in a count of the list that some clubs have exceeded the limit.
Also the rule is that players sold to other clubs shall not reserve
the players sold, but in a number of cases the name of one player
appears as reserved by more than one club. A number of clubs
still carry on their list of reserves players who have definitely quit
the game.
It is noted that the International League has filed reservation
claim for the players of the Bingham ton Club, which when it sur-
rendered its franchise gave releases to all its players. This is the
privilege of the league. The list of players reserved, as made up
by Secretary Farrell, follows :

♦New records made in 1919.
82 SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD.
Comparing Major League Averages of
1919 with those of 1918
More important than any fact which stands forth regarding the
individual records of the playing season of 1919 is the new record
for home runs which was made by Ruth of the Boston American
League club. Attention has been called to it elsewhere, yet no
comparison of records can be given a thought without another
reference to the performance of Ruth. No unusually favorable
conditions existed in making the record, for the reason that all
of the American League grounds are sufficiently extended in dimen-
sion to warrant a home run if a batter makes one.
The batters of the National League, taken as a whole, did not
improve alarmingly. The ratio of ".300" batters remains about
the same. The batting of the National League has been declining
in effectiveness as regards the totals of hits. Perusal of the
records of the last decade makes that plain. This may be due to
better pitchers, or to lack of luck on the part of the National
League managers in obtaining high class batting material from
the youngsters who are pressed into service. More ".300" batters
are common in the American League than are in the National
League by an overwhelming majority. If there is anything in the
theory of one organization having better pitchers than the other,
that would indicate less effective pitching in the American League.
Compare the earned run percentage record of the two major
league organizations. More pitchers are in the National League
with a superior earned run percentage than are in the American
League. Only two men in the American League had an average
of less than two runs to a game, against five in the National
League.
If the batters of the American League really are more powerful
than those of the National League that fact can account for the
difference. If the pitchers of the National League are collectively
superior to those of the American League, such a superiority can
be attributed as the reason for the difference. It is a hard ques-
tion to decide. In view of the fact that the batters of the Ameri-
can League have numerically shown more joint strength in a
stretch of years, American League folks point out that they have
the better men ; and as the National League pitchers have averaged
better under the earned run rule, which was advocated by the
editor of the Record as the only true measure of strength between
pitchers, and which has been endorsed by one of the greatest of
pitchers as the proper basis of computation. National League men
insist they have the better pitchers who, because they are better,
keep the batting down. Don't let any of us overlook the fact that
a batter is a batter no matter where he is playing, and if he is
one of the batters who enter Base Ball with "300" shining out of
his eyes he is pretty likely to bat .300 against anything which
throws speed and a curve ball.
When it comes to the comparison of fielders, nothing much
enters into consideration other than the number of chances ac-
cepted, the ability of a thrower to get the ball away quickly and
the strength in his arm. One year there may be more of them in
one league than another and more of them in one club than an-
other, thanks to the good fortune of the manager who got them
together. Fielders wear out, as a rule, more quickly than batters :
that is, retrograde from the apex of their efficiency. There will
always be the fielder who by personal grace, dash and alertness
combined will find admiration by the public. Nothing strange about
SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD. 83
that, for the general public, as a public, is not the keen analyst
as is one who gives time and study to the seeming minor details
of Base Ball. On the whole, it is just as well. That part of the
public which goes to a Base Ball game to be amused likes the
display of "base ball pyrotechnics," and the other part of the
public which goes to the games because it has played Base Ball,
and within its much beloved cranium feels that it knows as much
about the national game as the wise inem, likes to be critical.
When both sections of the public meet there is an argument, and
then another argument, and that is why Base Ball is an attractive
game.
It is interesting, but not convincing, to argue as to fielders,
because the team with the most wonderful infield today may be
seeking the most wonderful infield tomorrow. The team, however,
that can produce a .350 batter, who is young and has perhaps
seven, eight or ten years ahead of him, with the ability to bat
about .350 all of the time, has found something. In a way more
permanency is needed to Base Ball teams of the major leagues.
Once it was argued that it was good for ball players to shift them
around once in so often, but the shifts may come too frequently,
and even while the owners of Base Ball clubs mean all for the
best, they are creating an air of uncertainty in which a ball player
should not be invited to live if the best is to be got from him.
Base-running in 1919 was" pretty much the same as in 1918.
The short season of 1918 always will have a bearing on the com-
parison of scores which will make it rather a difficult task to get
at any definite result. However, from the analysis that can be
made, it is safe to say that base-running is not picking up very
decidedly. It will find its way some day, for it is one of the
livest and most entertaining of all the details of the game.
In looking over the figures for sacrifice hitting there is a most
interesting fact developed. By gathering the names of the players
who made the greatest number of sacrifices, and noting the teams
to which they are attached, one can very nearly tell the style of
game which that team plays. Look through the records of the
major league organizations if curious and see how well this is
borne out.

PITCHERS' RECORDS.
In arranging the National League pitchers of 1919 in the order of their
effectiveness, it was found expedient to divide the pitchers into three
groups, as was done in 1917 and 1918. The first group embraces all those
who bore the brunt of the campaign and pitched at least ten (10) complete
games; the second, those who participated in a minimum of ten (10) games,
regardless of the length of same; the third comprising all others who took
part in a championship contest.
The percentage of games won and lost is given, with notation of the
relative position of each pitcher, this special record being supplied in order
that comparison may be made with the official earned run rating.
A new heading, "Number of Games Finished," shows the work of pitchers
who have been put into games, generally after games have been considered
lost. In former years no proper credit was given such pitchers.
Alexander, Chicago, has the title of leading pitcher with an average of
least runs earned per game of 1.72. Ruether, Cincinnati, has best percent-
age for games won and lost, .760. Barnes, New York, won the most games,
25. Meadows, St. Louis-Philadelphia, lost 20. Meadows, St. Louis-Philadel-
phia, pitched in the most games, 40. Cooper, Pittsburgh, had 27 complete
games. Dubuc, New York, finished 22 games. Vaughn, Chicago, pitched 307
innings. Alexander, Chicago, led in shutout games, 9. Vaughn, Chicago,
struck out 141 batsmen. May, St. Louis, gave 87 bases on balls. Rudolph,
Boston, and Woodward, Philadelphia-St. Louis, each made 11 wild pitches.
A no-hit game was pitched by Eller, Cincinnati, vs. St. Louis, at Cin-
cinnati, May 11; score, Cincinnati 6, St. Louis 0. Consecutive victories —
Barnes, New York, ten (10), July 4-August 12. Consecutive defeats —
Jacobs, Philadelphia-St. Louis, eight (8), June 9-July 17. Most bases on
balls in a single game (9 innings) — May, St. Louis, July 6, and Cheney,
Philadelphia, August 30, each gave nine (9).
Greatest number of strikeouts in a single game (9 innings), ten (10) —
Marquard, Brooklyn, June 4; Eller, Cincinnati, June 24 and August 26;
Meadows, Philadelphia, July 30 and September 15; Vaughn, Chicago, Septem-
ber 15.

I *Wm. Keeler played center field on the Brooklyn team of 1899, and in 1
^ this position had a record in fielding of .970 and in batting of .376, |
a total of 1.346, which would entitle him to the center field position
^ on the Grand National "All-America" Team, but as he had a higher ]
^ record as right fielder of the Baltimore team in 1896, the center field I
was given to Hugh Duffy of Boston with the next highest record of 1.336, .
A clerical error was made in the Record Book of 1908, in placing
Hugh Jennings' name in the shortstop position on the Grand National '
All-America" Team, with his splendid record of .943 in fielding and ,
.386 in batting, totaling 1.329, instead of Geo. Wright, with his still more
remarkable record of .940 in fielding and ,422 in batting, totaling 1.362.

their game with Cleveland, missed in the eighth and scored in the ninth.
September 9, 1916, the scoring was peculiar in the Detroit-St. Louis game, being as

W. Hinchman, left fielder of Cleveland A.L., by Charles Hickman, May 18, 1907;

tagged Vitt, who hesitated between second and third, and then stepped on the bag,
forcing Ellison. Speaker duplicated this feat in the Cleveland-Chicago game of
April 29.
An odd game and an unnecessary question.
In a ten-inning tie game between St. Louis and Philadelphia N.L., May 13, 1918,
the Cardinals got two hits in the first inning and that was all, but they were good
for three runs, coupled with a base on balls. One was a homer by Cruise. After the
first inning Oeschger pitched nine without allowing a hit. Someone has asked, "Does
that entitle him to a no-hit game?"
Opposing catcher borrowed to finish game.
In the final game of a double-header between Louisville and Toledo, July 21, 1918,
Catcher Kelly of Toledo had the unusual experience of catching for both teams.
Walter Meyer had been injured and Louisville was without a catcher, as Kocher had
left after the first game, so Kelly was borrowed to finish the second game for the
Colonels.
Two home runs in one inning by same player.
On June 10, 1880, Buffalo at Boston, Jones, Boston, made two home runs in the
eighth, his team scoring ten times in that inning. Buffalo ran up nineteen errors,
Esterbrook being the only player on the team with a clean fielding record.

Edward B. Moss
PART III.
College Base Ball in 1919
By Edward B. Moss, New York.
The aftermath of the world war was
still in evidence in college Base Ball
throughout the IJDited States during
the season of 1919. Schedules con-
taining twenty or more games were
less frequent than during pre-war
periods and the play did not move with
the rythm and swing of normal 'varsity
years. Many players, fresh from the
battlefields of Europe, found it difficult
to accustom themselves to the more
prosaic work of recitations and campus.
For these reasons the exceptional
form of various college and university
teams in widely separated sections of
the country was all the more remark-
able. The season's record of such nines
as Holy Cross, Boston College and the
Navy in the East ; Georgia, North
Carolina and West Virginia in the
South ; Texas in the Southwest ;
Washington on the Pacific Coast ;
Michigan and Illinois in the Middle
West, would stand out as splendid performances in normal times and
rank above such standards during the unsettled period following so
closely after the armistice. Considered by sections, the playing form
of the various teams is even more impressive.
The team representing Holy Cross College of Worcester, Mass.,
was the outstanding sensation of the season. All but one of the
twenty-three games .played was won, the sole defeat being at the
hands of Fordham after eleven innings of the closest form of Base Ball
battle. Every other 'varsity combination went down before the Wor-
cester collegians, in most cases defeated decisively. Harvard, Yale,
Syracuse. Dartmouth, Pennsylvania, Army, Columbia, Brown and Bos-
ton College were among the strongest nines conquered. Six of the
twenty-three games resulted in shutouts, and all but two, those with
Fordham and Boston College, did not exceed nine innings.
The Holy Cross team was coached by Jesse Burkett and the bulk
of the pitching was done by Gill and McLoughlin. Gill won twelve
out of thirteen games he twirled, including two one-hit contests. Mc-
Loughlin won all seven games which he pitched, one of which was a
no-hit game. Martin did virtually all of the catching, while Maloney,
first base ; Maguire, second base : Santoro, third base ; Gagnon, short-
stop, proved a strong infield, and the outfield, consisting of Captain
Bowen, Daly and Statz, was a hard hitting, fast fielding combination.
Boston College. Fordham and the Navy followed closely after Holy
Cross. The Boston team, with sixteen victories and seven defeats,
was one of the leaders in the East, defeating Fordham, Dartmouth
twice, as well as other opponents, but lost two games to Holy Cross,
broke even with Tufts, and dropped single games to Harvard and
Army. The Fordham University record was sixteen victories and five
defeats. The Baltimore International League club, Columbia. Prince-
ton, Syracuse, Lafayette and Holy Cross all fell before the New York
collegians. Yale broke even in two games, both of which were extra

inning contests, while the Navy and Georgetown each captured a
single game and Boston College two straight. The Navy nine was
one of the best at Annapolis in some seasons, winning decisively from
the Army, 10 to 6, Fordham, and a number of Southern colleges. The
defeats came at the hands of the Chicago National League club, 7 to 3,
Maryland State, and two service nines composed of veteran players.
Syracuse, Princeton, Cornell, Harvard, Columbia, Yale and several
of the leaders of previous years were not as successful as in normal
seasons, breaking about even in a schedule containing something like
fifty per cent of the usual number of games. Gettysburg played a
short schedule of eight games with Pennsylvania* and Maryland col-
lege teams, winning seven and tieing the other against Mt. St.
Mary's. Lehigh won ten out of sixteen games, including a victory
over Pennsylvania, and four out of five games with Lafayette. One

of the feature games of the latter team was a 10 to 0 defeat of
Syracuse in which Moyer, of Lafayette, shut out the Syracuse combi^
nation without a hit and struck out ten of the twenty-seven batters
that faced him.
Yale stood out strongly in the triangular series with Harvard and
Princeton, winning two straight games from Harvard and two out
of three contests from Princeton. Harvard in turn won two out of
three games from Princeton, thus securing the mythical second place
in the series between the "Big Three" universities.
Southern colleges were represented by an unusually high class group
of teams. The University of Georgia won seventeen out of twenty-
two games, the remaining five including three defeats and two ties.
Alabama Poly played a twelve-inning, no-score tie with Georgia and
was then defeated in the next three games, two of which were shut-
outs. Clemson heldi Georgia to a eleven-inning 2 — 2 tie, but lost

three other games. Virginia shut out Georgia, 3 to 0, after having
dropped three games in a row, but Georgia Tech lost all four games.
Alabama won its single game, 6 to 1. West Virginia with a record
of fifteen victories, one tie and three defeats out of nineteen games
was another of the strong Southern college teams. Eastern teams fig-
ured prominently in the few defeats administered to the Morgantown
collegians. Penn State won a 2 to 1 victory ; Colgate scored a 1 to 0
shutout, and Rutgers played a 2-2 tie with West Virginia. The
numerous victories scored were at the expense, in part, of such high
class opponents as Ohio, Syracuse, Cornell. Lafayette, Ohio Wesleyan
and Washington and Jefferson. West Virginia possessed two remark-
ably effective pitchers in Latterner and Lemley, while Rogers, the All-
America foot ball star, played a great game at short. Others to
contribute to the many victories included Dawson, center field ; Catcher
Martin, Pride and Armstrong, respectively first and second baseman.
The University of North Carolina and Maryland State also gave
impressive performances during the 1919 season. The former won
twelve, tied two and lost four games out of eighteen played. Virginia
appeared to be one of the hardest opponents to overcome, winning
one 2 to 1 game and holding North Carolina to a 3 to 3 tie in the
second contest, but the series was evened when Carolina took the third
contest by the decisive score of 7 to 1. Maryland State won sixteen
out of eighteen games, including victories over Georgetown, Penn
State. Navy, Lehigh, Virginia Poly, Washington and Lee and Johns
Hopkins. Virginia and Georgetown each won on& of the two games
lost. Rock Hill College, with thirteen out of seventeen victories ;
Wofford College, which won thirteen out of seventeen games ; Lincoln
Memorial University, with a similar season's score, and Washington
and Lee, which captured ten out of eleven games, were still other
teams of the section which deserve special mention. All these college
combinations played hard schedules and their records warrant a high
standing among the Southern teams in a season when the standard
was unusually high.
Among the larger institutions of the Middle West, Michigan's Base
Ball team stood pre-eminent with a record of thirteen games won out
of fourteen played, the sole defeat being a 3 to 2 victory by Notre
Dame. Indiana, Chicago, Iowa, Purdue, Illinois and Ohio State were
all defeated by the Wolverines, in some cases twice during the season.
Iowa State had a strong nine, winning eight out of eleven games and
tieing another. The principal victories were those over Chicago,
Kansas and Cornell College, while Notre Dame was held to a thirteen-
inning tie and Iowa forced to divide a two-game series. The Uni-
versity of Illinois played an extremely hard schedule of eighteen games,
of which thirteen were won. Three games were taken from Wisconsin,
two out of three from Mississippi, two from Notre Dame, while the
Chicago and Iowa series were divided. Indiana also played a trying
schedule, capturing thirteen out of twenty-one games, two of which
were at the expense of the Indianapolis American Association club.
On the Pacific Coast the University of Washington won ten games
straight from such strong opponents as Oregon, Oregon Aggies, and
Washington State. The University of California had a fast team,
winning a maiority of her games, but Stanford proved too strong in
the annual diamond battles, taking two straight in the series between
these rival universities.
The University of Texas team was by all odds the outstanding
figure in the college Base Ball of the Southwest. Out of twenty-six
games all but three were won, and two of the three defeats were ad-
ministered by professional combinations. The San Antonio Texas
League team won. 8 to 0, and the Chicago Nationals defeated the col-
legians, 9 to 1. The twenty-three victories were piled up at the ex-
pense of Trinity, Oklahoma, Southwestern, Texas Aggies, Oklahoma
Aggies and Austin College.

300 SPALDING'S OFFICIAL BASE BALL RECORD.
Major League Schedule Meetings, 1920
NATIONAL LEAGUE.
At the schedule meeting of the National League, held in Chicago
February 10, President Heydler gave out the list of umpires signed
to date as Robert Emslie, William Klem, Henry O'Day, Fyfe (a
new member from Michigan), Peter Harrison, Charley Moran
and Barry McCormick.
The league refused to change the rule which permits the trans-
fer of players from one club to another. Therefore, it will be
possible to procure players by direct sale in the National League
until August 20. The waiver price in the National League was
raised from $1,500 to $2,500, to correspond with the waiver
price of the American League. It was decided to keep the player
limit at twenty-five from May 15 to August 31. At other times
the limit will be thirty-five players, except that more may be
taken on during the training period.
AMERICAN LEAGUE.
The annual schedule meeting of the American League was held
in Chicago February 10. It was ruled that managers, club owners
and agents should be prohibited from negotiating for the services
of a player of another club, without permission, under a penalty
of $1,000 for the first offense and expulsion from the league for
the second offense.
Agreement was entered into that no club in the league would
be permitted to release -a player to another club of the league
after July 1, except by the regular waiver route. If a club pro-
cured the services of a player by another channel than the regular
waiver route it was agreed that all games in which such a player
participated would be declared forfeit.
Colonel J. J. Ruppert of the New York club proposed that the
waiver rule be amended so that waivers for a player's services
might be recalled within two days after they had been requested.
This was adopted.
It was established, as a rule, that games impossible to be played
in the schedule of one team may be transferred to the city of the
opposing team if there is still opportunity in the season to play
the games on the ground of the opposing club. Games postponed
from a first series were ordered to be played as part of the second
series, first or second day if possible, or an open date if possible.
EDITOR'S NOTE.
It was decided at a conference after the regular meeting that
the New York club should be recognized as finishing third in the
race of 1919 for the American League championship. When this
news reached the editor of the Record the forms containing the
American League averages as prepared with third place undecided
had already been printed. This will be corrected in the annual
Spalding Base Ball Guide. Attention is also called to the fact
that on page 198 of the Record it was impossible to state at the
time whether New York or Detroit was to be given third place
money of the world series division. The action taken at Chicago
has settled the controversy in favor of New York.

Indianapolis, Indiana, August 9, 1919.
A. G. Spalding & Bros.
Gentlemen:
While serving with the A. E. F. as Divisional Athletic Director for the
Y. M. C. A., with headquarters at St. Andre de Cubzac, Gironde, France,
I had an opportunity to note the different makes of athletic goods. I have
no desire to say anything against any make of goods, as we were glad to
get any of them, but I do want to tell you about the remarkable perform-'
ance of two "Spalding Army and Navy No. J5A" foot balls.
Christmas Day, 1918, I placed one of these balls in play in a game be-
tween Co. D and Co. F of the 311th Engineers at St. Andre Field near St.
Andre de Cubzac. These teams played a scoreless tie. On New Year's
Day they again played a scoreless game, using the same foot ball. Fol-
lowing in rapid order came four other games, making six in all, with this
same foot ball. We then gave it to the Co. E team of the 311th Engineers
for a practice ball and it was in fine condition at that time. This ball had .
not been deflated, which seems to me to be remarkable..
I then inflated and laced another ball and started it yith, the intention of
seeing just how far it would go. This ball was used €or nine straight'
games and was then "lost." It was in almost perfect condition- at the end
of the ninth game, which was played at St. Andre Field between -the 16th
Engineers and the 304th Brigade Tank Corps, and resulted in a scoreless
game. This ball had not been deflated during the entire nine games.
We were not compelled to use these balls and only did so because they
were in first-class shape, and they were always submitted to both teams
and the officials. We had other foot balls on hand.
Such teams as the 11th Engineers, 16th Engineers, 26th Engineers, Co.
D, Co. E and Co. F., 311th Engineers, 348th Infantry, 413th Telephone
Battalion, 312th Ammunition Train, ,308th Ammunition Train, 16th Aero
Squad, 304th and 307th Brigade Tank Corps used these balls, and any one
seeing these teams in action can testify that they played some foot ball.
For the most part the Pershing hobnail shoe was used, 'and they sure could
treat them rough.
I certainly have the highest regards for the Spalding goods, and it ii' a
pleasure to tell you of, their jnerits,
Yours very truly,
EVERETT W. HUNTER. ,

Spalding implements are pre-eminen
From the running shoes for Olympi
winners to the missiles of weigh
throwers, Spalding goods are alway
in evidence when championships ar
won or records made.
Ruling bodies in track and fiel
athletics certify to Spalding Qualit
in the recognition of Spalding im
plements for use in Olympic an
championship contests.
Don't be led astray by the fals
cry of cheapness and "just as good.
Remember that superiority in com
petition is the result of Quality ii
equipment.
